The Ida County Farm Bureau’s Red & Black Bag Food Drive was an incredible success — and it’s all because of YOU! ❤️🖤

Together, our communities showed up in a big way and truly crushed our goal. From canned goods and pantry staples to everyday essentials, every single donation represents kindness, generosity, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is what community looks like in Ida County — people coming together to make sure families have the support they need.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, spread the word, and helped make this event possible. Your support will make a meaningful difference for local families.

We also want to give a special shoutout to Ida Grove Food Pride and Holstein Super Market for their outstanding efforts and partnership in making this drive such a success. Your dedication to our community does not go unnoticed — we are so grateful!

And there’s still time to be part of it! 🛒

You have ONE more opportunity to contribute on Monday in Holstein at Holstein Super Market. Let’s keep the momentum going and make an even bigger impact!

Thank you, Ida County, for showing what People. Progress. Pride. truly means. 💙

🌾💙 Happy National FFA Week! 💛🌾

From Ida County Farm Bureau, we’re proud to celebrate our local FFA members, advisors, and supporters who are shaping the future of agriculture. Monday and today we surprised the FFA members of OA BCIG FFA and Ridge View FFA Chapters with donuts!

Our FFA students show leadership, dedication, and a willingness to learn—qualities that help keep rural communities strong. Whether they’re competing, growing SAE projects, serving their chapters, or lending a hand in the community, these young leaders inspire us every day.

A huge THANK YOU to:
⭐ Our Ida County FFA chapters
⭐ The incredible advisors who guide and mentor students
⭐ Parents, volunteers, and community partners who support agricultural education
⭐ The students who proudly wear the blue jacket and represent the future of agriculture
Keep shining, leaders—you are the next generation of agricultural innovators, advocates, and problem-solvers!

🌽🐄🚜 Ida County Farm Bureau is proud to support you—this week and every week!
