Educational Foundation
Safety encompasses the daily tasks and routines at the grain elevator, feed facility, in the office, and during your commute. We don’t think about it, but our goal is to make it home from work or school each day returning to our loved ones.
NEGFA plans to bring grain engulfment safety education and training to Nebraska’s State FFA students in 2020. We need your help in making this dream a reality! As the size of grain storage and equipment has gotten bigger and faster, grain related accidents have also increased. We feel that it is important to bring awareness and train young adults on these hazards. This training will benefit any of the FFA students who participate or watch live grain engulfment trainings occurring during Nebraska’s State FFA Convention.
It doesn’t matter what occupation a student chooses, (a farm or livestock operation; employment at a grain elevator, feed mill, agricultural machinery operation; or become an industry regulator or a volunteer on a local Fire & Rescue team) safety education benefits everyone.
Donations:
We accept donations all year long. You can use the link above or if you have another idea, please contact Laura Dwyer at member.services@negfa.org. At our Summer or Winter Convention, we usually have a fundraising opportunity and are always looking for products or services to auction off for this important educational opportunity. Donating to our 501c3 is tax exempt.
