LOCAL FARMER HITS BULLS EYE WITH LOCAL ARCHERY TEAM

How do you make a difference to over 100 Valley View students? You make a $2,500 donation to the Valley View Archery Team. That’s exactly what Craighead County farmer Tony Elmore did, along with the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. With the donation, Valley View Schools will be able to purchase new bows and arrows along with new archery targets that will benefit over 100 students. Thanks again to Tony Elmore, America’s Farmers Grow Communities program and the Monsanto Fund for making this a better community.
