Hey everyone – This letter is a little different because farming is pretty personal to my family history. Here’s a little background on Farm Rescue . . . Families make up 98% of the total farms and produce 85% of the food in the US. Thus, we all are very dependent on the success of the U.S. Family Farm, the backbone of our heritage.
When farmers have a health or personal crisis, Farm Rescue steps in with late model John Deere equipment and well-trained volunteers to do the planting, harvesting, haying or hauling hay/grain – helping the family get through the season so they can recover and maintain their farm long term. They have served 900+ farm families and can report that 97% of these families are still farming 3 years later.
You might have guessed…my husband, Vane, is super involved as a volunteer at Farm Rescue. He has helped harvest multiple farms over the past few years.
