From Mr. Gross: Sanborn Central FFA members are currently selling Crystalyx discount cards through the Earn to Learn program. Each card saves the producer $40 on 1 ton of Crystalyx Brand Supplements. In return, the producer pays the FFA member $20 for each card. This money stays with our local FFA chapter to support our agricultural education program and chapter activities. To purchase a card, speak with any Sanborn Central FFA member. We will also be selling the cards at the Forestburg Farmers Elevator producer supper on Wednesday, October 24. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at shane.gross@k12.sd.us. Thank you for your support and good luck with harvest!
