The Polk County Board of County Commissioners has committed funding to support a new Ag-Center in Polk County. The community has come together to show private-sector support of this vital project to our community. We envision this new Ag-Center to be a crown jewel asset that talks about Polk’s agricultural heritage and legacy, and ensure we have the proper and necessary equipment to operate a facility for multiple groups, such as rodeo, livestock events, english and western horse events, and trade shows. Therefore, we need the private-sector to show support for this project, but most importantly, say through financial contributions that AGRICULTURE is important to the citizens of Polk County.
A Community in Support of Agriculture Fund Grants from the fund shall provide support to the Polk County BOCC for the new Ag-Center project. The private-sector donations will be used to purchase equipment and educational displays to carry out its role and mission in promoting agriculture education, as well as any additional facilities that will be needed at Ag-Center.
