History

The first Farmers Bowl Auction, held in 1997, raised more than $14,000. The success of this event grew steadily over the years and generated more than $60,000 in some years. The proceeds of the auction and other Farmers Bowl fund-raising activities are administered by the MSU Foundation for the benefit of Mayville State University and its students.
