ARLINGTON, Va. — The recently conducted American Feed Industry Association sustainability survey indicates enhancing youth programs with an ag-based focus has a strong importance to U.S. feed companies. The annual, informal poll, "Community Involvement and Charitable Giving Survey," also reveals total volunteer hours of those surveyed within the industry and funds donated to charitable organizations.
In 2015, the animal food industry gave back more than $11 million to their communities. Companies also reported logging upward of 18,000 volunteer hours.
"Our members show great pride and dedication to their communities in which they live and work," said AFIA President. . .
