America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, sponsored by the Bayer Fund, partners with farmers to support nonprofit organizations to strengthen rural communities. At the May 2019 high school graduation awards ceremony Harrison County farmer Bob Price directed $2,500 to the South Harrison scholarship fund. This financial support was awarded to five students who wish to further their education.
