Why AgCountry Farm Credit Services Supports the MN Ag in the Classroom Mission?
Nick Uglem, AgCountry Farm Credit Services Marketing and PR Programs Manager, said “Minnesota Ag in the Classroom was new to me when I joined AgCountry in 2022. Being able to learn more about what Minnesota Ag in the Classroom does and all the programs that y’all put on is really outstanding. I think the Minnesota Ag in the Classroom mission and work aligns so well with AgCountry’s mission of serving agriculture in rural America. Along with teaching kids about agriculture and giving them that background, the advocacy for careers in agriculture and the producers is just wonderful across the board. AgCountry thanks you for all that you do for agriculture in Minnesota and we really appreciate it. Thank you for this partnership.”
