In the wake of severe storms, including devastating tornadoes in eastern Nebraska and parts of Iowa, Farm Rescue stands as a beacon of hope for farmers facing adversity.

Ben Smith, the Field Operations Manager at Farm Rescue, shared insights into the organization’s efforts during a recent interview with the Rural Radio Network.

The non-profit organization is on standby, ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. Working in collaboration with local partners such as John Deere dealers and agricultural co-ops, Farm Rescue identifies farmers impacted by the storms, offering assistance as they navigate the challenges of recovery.

From planting and cattle feeding, Farm Rescue provides support to affected farmers. Additionally, with the impending summer hay baling season on the horizon, the organization is poised to assist with hay equipment repairs and other related tasks.

For those looking to lend a helping hand or seeking assistance, Farm Rescue’s website, farmrescue.org, serves as the central hub for information and applications.
