Three cheers to this organization – North Dakota-based Farm Rescue – which rolls in to help farmers who’ve been injured are ill or whose farms have been devastated by natural disaster.
I learned about Farm Rescue from this story in The Prairie Star online, which reports that the organization has added Montana to its territory.
In the Montana case, Farm Rescue swooped in to help Terry and Vicki Cayko, whose son was in the hospital with a spinal cord injury from a swimming accident.
The not-for-profit organization, which relies in part on support from local farmers who volunteer time and labor for each rescue, seeded for 28 farmers this year.
