Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Recognizes Outstanding Supporters

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation is honored to formally recognize the inaugural Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Legacy Tree members. Lifetime contributions and planned or estate commitments to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation qualify supporters to be members of this special recognition society. 

“The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Legacy Tree serves as a lasting way to thank and recognize those who are highly invested in the Foundation’s mission,” said Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation Director John Hromyak. “Our supporters ensure a bright future for agriculture and we are honored to be part of their legacy.” 

Individuals and families whose lifetime cumulative giving totals at least $5,000, or who make any size planned or estate commitment, are welcomed as members. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Legacy Tree also recognizes county Farm Bureaus and businesses, who are welcomed at $10,000 and $50,000 of lifetime giving, respectively.
