HAY LIFT: A Farm Rescue semi with a load of donated hay pulls out of the gas station on the say to Nebraska. The truck is part of an Operation Hay Lift caravan delivering donated hay to flood victims.

North Dakotans are coming through with aid for Nebraska flood victims.

Farm Rescue, a North Dakota non-profit, has already delivered more than 30 loads of hay from North Dakota ranchers as part of its 2019 Operation Hay Lift. 

Several loads were donated by North Dakota ranchers who received Farm Rescue assistance during the original Operation Hay Lift in 2017-2018.

If you’d like to donate hay or money, visit Farm Rescue’s website, farmrescue.org, or call 701-252-2017.

Stockmen’s relief

The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association (NDSA) and North Dakota Stockmen’s Foundation (NDSF) recently launched the “Nebraska in Need Disaster Relief Program.”  The two groups pledged $10,000 to kickstart the program.

“So many friends from across the country have come to the aid of North Dakota farm and ranch families in their times of need over the years,” says Dan Rorvig, NDSA president and McVille, N.D., cattleman. “This is our chance to return the favor and instill some hope during this incredibly challenging time in neighboring Nebraska.”

Send checks to the NDSF at 407 S. 2nd St., Bismarck, N.D., 58504, with “Nebraska in Need” written in the memo. The NDSA and NDSF will compile these gifts with their own and work with the Nebraska Cattlemen, their Nebraska counterpart, to distribute 100% of the money raised to cattle-ranching flood victims. 

For more information about the Nebraska in Need Disaster Relief Program, call 701-223-2522 or visit ndstockmen.org.

Tax deductible

NDSF and Farm Rescue are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, so gifts can be deducted for income tax purposes. Check with your financial adviser.
