Why

Proceeds support the National Farm Medicine Center (NFMC)  at Marshfield Clinic Health System.

Since its inception in 1982, Auction of Champions has raised over $5.6 million for the National Farm Medicine Center (NFMC), an invaluable resource for the agricultural industry in Wisconsin for more than four decades. Over the past year, the National Farm Medicine Center has been addressing challenges of agricultural safety and health in Wisconsin and beyond by:

• Distributing free slow-moving vehicle signs to Wisconsin farmers, in partnership with Rural Mutual Insurance Co., Oxbow Forage Division, and Nasonville Dairy.
• Helping farmers retrofit old tractors with life-saving roll bars through the Wisconsin Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) Rebate Program.
• Protecting the safety and health of emergency responders by training them to handle hazards specific to farm environments through the ag rescue training program in partnership with Pittsville Fire Department.
• Providing skin cancer screening at the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association annual conference.
• Conducting research and providing resources to make farms safer for children and adolescents through the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety.
• Advising Veteran Affairs initiatives aimed at recruiting and training military veterans with agricultural-based community reintegration programs.
• Supporting AgInjuryNews.org​, an online database of agricultural injury reports, to monitor trends, identify new emerging issues, provide safety messages, and raise awareness and knowledge of ag related injuries and prevention strategies.
