JACKSON, Miss. (RFD News)Mississippi Farm Bureau members are combining food, fellowship and friendly competition to help support hunger relief efforts in their communities.

The Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation and its Foundation for Agriculture continue fighting food insecurity through the organization’s annual Farmers Feeding the Hungry Cookoff.
