On behalf of the Foundation we would like to thank all of the donators who have stepped up to donate an item in all of our past Auctions, purchased an auction item or have donated to the Foundation separately. 
Since our very first Foundation Auction in 2007, your generous support has ensured funding towards education, research and youth in agriculture continues and has made our past auctions and program a huge success. Although the auction isn't taking place for 2020, donations to the Foundation are always welcome and a charitable tax receipt will be provided.
