POET recently partnered with CoBank to donate $12,000 to the South Putnam Youth League.
The contribution will be used to purchase lighting for the softball and baseball fields. This spring, 230 kids registered to play softball or baseball. The fields will host games several times throughout the week for both South Putnam’s youth league and other leagues in the area. The added lights will allow for evening games, tournaments, and other programs.

For several years, POET and CoBank have partnered together to donate matching funds to a local community.
“At POET, the core of our mission is giving back to the communities we call home,” said Christian McIlvain, President of POET Grain. “We are proud to partner with CoBank and contribute to a project that brings the community together and supports our young people.”
