Located in rural America, our local towns and surrounding communities are very important to us. Our contributions help make small-town life more sustainable for our employees and our neighbors. We strive to show our support for local schools, sports, clubs, businesses, and organizations.
We believe in supporting American Farmers & Rural Communities. That is why we are involved in our community by sponsoring and participating in local events, donating our time & money, providing career opportunities, and opening a new market for crop production.
A Few of Our Recent Contributions:

This holiday season we teamed up with First National Bank in Phillipsburg to help pack food boxes for those in need within our community. Our employees brought in enough to donate 30 boxes of food. We are glad we could make a positive impact together and spread holiday joy.

In partnership with Mapes and Miller CPA and First National Bank and Trust, Amber Wave donated $5 per kill (when an attack is unreturnable by the opposing team and results in a scored point) during the Lady Panthers home volleyball games against the Smith Center Lady Red.

Market Season: June – October

We set out to meet local farmers in their fields in the heart of wheat harvest. We handed out cold drinks, koozies, license plates, and created connections in the fields. Our Wheat Harvest Appreciation Tour was a chance to build trust and credibility on both sides. Customers can see where our product is being grown while local producers can connect with the company that is buying their wheat and understand where it is going.
