Farm Rescue: Helping Farm and Ranch Families in Crisis

Farm Rescue’s mission is to help farmers and ranchers who have experienced a major illness, injury or natural disaster by providing the necessary equipment and volunteer workforce to plant, hay or harvest their crop. Livestock feeding assistance is also available to producers. Farm Rescue gives families a chance to continue their livelihood by providing the necessary equipment and manpower (free of charge) to get the job done. Farm Rescue serves Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and South Dakota.

Do you know of a family who may need assistance this harvest season? Farm Rescue relies on referrals from family members, friends and neighbors who know when a family is struggling during a time of crisis. Referrals can be anonymous.
