ANIMART, LLC is contributing $2,760 to the Michigan FFA Foundation on behalf of dairy and livestock producers who purchased Zoetis animal health products during a 2015 program.For every eligible purchase of Zoetis cattle, pork and equine animal health products from February 1 through April 30, 2015, ANIMART donated a portion to the Michigan FFA Foundation. The Michigan FFA Foundation uses individual and corporate donations to subsidize achievement awards, scholarships, leadership building programs and career development events for FFA members. This is the fourth year the two companies have teamed up to support the future of agriculture in Michigan, with this year's donation showing an increase of nearly $1,000 over 2014.
In 2014, ANIMART acquired Michigan Veterinary Supply and is proud to have continued to provide Michigan dairy producers the same level of service that MVS had for 40 years. With the MVS acquisition and dedicated staff members like Territory Managers Mallorie Harris and Dave Edington, and Professional Services Veterinarian Dr. Larry Judge, ANIMART has been able to make strides in connecting more closely with the agriculture community.
"As the FFA creed illustrates, a belief in the future of agriculture needs to go past words and must be translated into action. So it is with great pleasure we can ‘act' with Zoetis to support FFA Members through this program." said Dan Ellsworth, President and CEO of ANIMART.
The Michigan FFA Association consists of over 5,300 members from 111 chapters. FFA is a diverse organization, operating in rural, urban, and suburban schools. Their mission is to impact youth leadership development in Michigan as it relates to FFA and agriscience education initiatives.
