Endure®
Endure is the GROWMARK System Sustainability initiative. Sustainability is defined in the GROWMARK System as those activities and practices that endure over time. We take pride in caring for the soil and other resources. We go to great lengths to make certain our communities, our environment, and our way of life are protected in the years to come.

Youth & Young Farmers
Today’s youth are the leaders of tomorrow and we are committed to the education and development of those leaders. We are long standing supporters of agricultural youth and young adult programs including 4-H, FFA, the Junior Farmers Association, and Co-operative Young Leaders' Program (Ontario, Canada) and Farm Bureau Young Farmers, Leaders, and Agriculturists.
To develop these leaders, GROWMARK supports and organizes several contests and events including the annual GROWMARK essay contest, open to FFA members in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Ohio as well as to 4-H Ontario members. Additionally, GROWMARK awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to high school and college students pursuing careers in agriculture.
