Employees from two different Monsanto sites recommended the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation to receive grants from the Monsanto Fund’s 2018 site grant initiative. The Monsanto-Ankeny site awarded $4,000 and the Monsanto-Independence site awarded $5,000. Funds from the grant will be used to support the teacher professional development efforts in and around the Ankeny and Independence areas. “Teachers can easily use agriculture to teach core concepts and align to new science and social studies educational standards,” said Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation Executive Director Will Fett.
