Busch Light's corn cans back to support farmers

By Farms.com

Good news for beer lovers and farmers alike! Busch Light's fan-favorite "Corn Can" design is back on store shelves nationwide. This limited-edition packaging supports a worthy cause - Farm Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping family farms in crisis.

For every case of Corn Cans sold until June 2024, Busch Light will donate $0.10 to Farm Rescue, with a total contribution target of $200,000. This strengthens Busch Light's longstanding partnership with the charity.

Since its founding in 2006, Farm Rescue has provided critical assistance to over 1,000 farm families facing hardship due to illness, injury, or natural disasters. Busch Light's partnership has been instrumental in these efforts, contributing over $1.2 million to date.

The 2020 release of Corn Cans directly funded Farm Rescue's expansion into Kansas. Busch Light remains committed to supporting farmers and ranchers through ongoing campaigns and limited-edition products like the Corn Cans.

By raising awareness for Farm Rescue, Busch Light encourages struggling families to seek assistance. Farm Rescue offers vital resources like equipment, volunteers, and support with planting, harvesting, and livestock feeding.

Busch Light recognizes the essential role farmers play in the American economy and food production. Through initiatives like the Corn Cans, they aim to give back to these communities and the families who sustain them.
