Ep 34: Supporting Rural Communities with Jonathan Bell of Rural Support Trust

It is September and that means the Cash for Communities programme is open. PGG Wrightson, Ballance Agri-Nutrients, and selected agchem suppliers donate $1 for every tonne of qualifying fertiliser or 10 litres of agchem products between September and November to charity. PGG Wrightson customers nominate their preferred charities, and since the start of the programme in 2011, we have given away hundreds of thousands of dollars to rural charities and groups. This year, with your help, we are on track to hit an important milestone: $1 million! These donations make a huge difference to our communities and the work they do. One of the recipients of the Cash for Communities programme is the Rural Support Trust who work with farmers and growers across the country.  Joining the conversation, is Jonathan Bell, Hawkes Bay Area Coordinator for the Rural Support Trust.You can take part in Cash for Communities at PGG Wrightson. from now, until the end of November. For every tonne of qualifying fertiliser or 10 litres of select agchem products purchased, $1 goes to the Cash for Communities programme.
