Culver's has raised more than half a million dollars for the National FFA foundation, local FFA chapters and other agriculture organizations through its "Thank You Farmers" initiative. The initiative is in its second year.

In addition to in-store fund-raising at 380 Culver's restaurants, the 'Thank You Farmers' initiative has included:

• A Thank You Farmers corn maze in Tracy, Minnesota.
• Three blue barns sharing a giant thank you to America's farmers
• A nationwide coloring contest that gave young guests the chance to be featured in Culver's 2015 Thank You Farmers calendar

"We're excited to see the enthusiasm with which guests have embraced Thank You Farmers," said Craig Culver, CEO and founder of Culver's, in a press release. "We're deeply grounded in the farms that produce the dairy and grow the food that have made our restaurant what it is. It's been a natural partnership since Culver's was established over 30 years ago."

Culver's, which is based in Wisconsin, has 500 restaurants in 22 states.
