ANIMART, Inc. is contributing nearly $46,000 to the Wisconsin Association of FFA on behalf of dairy and livestock producers who purchased Zoetis animal health products during a 2014 program.

"The success of ANIMART relies on the support we receive from the agriculture industry," said Dan Ellsworth, President of ANIMART. "Partnering with Zoetis for this program provides us with a great opportunity to give back to the future of the industry that has given so much to us.".

For every eligible purchase of Zoetis cattle, pork and equine animal health products from February 1 through April 30, 2014, ANIMART donated one percent to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation. The donation will support programs that complement instruction in agricultural education by giving students practical experiences in premier leadership, personal growth and career success skills. Since 2008, ANIMART has contributed over $205,000 to their cause.

ANIMART is a Star Mission Partner, who is dedicated to the mission of preparing Wisconsin's youth for college and careers in the fields of agriculture, food system and natural resources. As a Star Mission Partner, they generously support all entities of the Wisconsin FFA, including the Wisconsin Association of FFA, Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators (WAAE), Wisconsin FFA Alumni, Wisconsin FFA Center and Wisconsin FFA Foundation.
