Field Of dreams
On September 7th, 2024, in the community of Clearwater, Mb, we set out to do something different. We turned a corn/soybean field into a baseball diamond. Not just for the love of the game, but to bring people together, celebrate small-town resilience, and invest in the future of our rural community.
What started as a bold idea became a gathering place where teamwork, connection, and giving back took center stage.
Field of Dreams raised over $60,000 for the Clearwater Foundation, helping strengthen the community we call home.
Call To Action
Support your Small community!
Great things happen when agriculture businesses step up for their communities. Giving back doesn’t have to be complicated, it just has to be meaningful. Field of Dreams was our way of making an impact, but every business has the power to do something that fits their values, industry, and local communities. Whether it’s creating spaces for people to connect, supporting local initiatives, or using your resources in an unexpected way, investing in your community creates ripples that go far beyond a single event. It strengthens relationships, builds trust, and makes small towns stronger for generations to come.
Find your FIELD OF DREAMS!
Think big, get creative, and do something that brings people together. Because when small communities thrive, agriculture thrives.
IS THIS HEAVEN? IT’S CLEARWATER.
