HARVEST 2026 IS ROLLING!
Farmers, you can help make a BIG SPLASH for the Grafton Pool Project!
If you haul to Nash Grain & Trading Co., Fordville Coop, Forest River Farmers Elevator Company, or Columbia Grain (Crystal), just let them know you’d like to donate bushels to the Grafton Pool Project when you pull in.
Every bushel makes a difference!
Every donation helps build our community’s future!
Turn your harvest into a splash for the Grafton Pool Project!
