By Peggy Jo Goodfellow, Arizona Farm Bureau: Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving and improving the Agriculture industry through member involement in education, political activities, programs and services. As a non-profit organization, we rely on sponsor donations each year to help us with public relations, promotion, marketing and the Ag in the Classroom program. Our top sponsor level is platinum at $5,000. These sponsors go everywhere we go throughout the year.

This year’s main campaign was called “Reach a Million VI” (RAM VI); a follow-up to last year’s RAM V where we reached more than 4.4 million people with the Arizona agriculture story; but this time we were tasked with reaching 4.8 million people.

Our platinum sponsors help make it possible for us to do outreach to the public and tell our state’s amazing agriculture story, a $17.1 billion story. That’s the economic contribution agriculture makes to this desert state.
