Beef Counts! Farmers and ranchers are giving back to their communities in need

This week wraps up Idaho Beef Month, and ag leaders and volunteers showed up at the Idaho Food Bank Headquarters as part of the Beef Counts Program.

The time spent together is an opportunity for farmers, ranchers, and others to give back to their communities by providing high-quality, high-protein beef to be distributed year-round to those in need.
