When Crisis Hits the Farm: How Farm Rescue Saves the Season

Injuries and illnesses can bring the entire season to a halt, something no farmer can plan for. That’s where Farm Rescue comes in.   In this episode of The Dirt, host Mike Howell talks with Founder and President of Farm Rescue, Bill Gross, to explore how this one-of-a-kind non-profit provides free, hands-on help to farmers and ranchers to keep farms running when life takes a turn. From planting and haying to harvesting and feeding livestock, Farm Rescue mobilizes the volunteers and equipment needed to help farm families get the job done and save the season ahead.   Bill shares how his roots in farming and the traditional idea of ‘neighbors helping neighbors’ inspired his efforts and how he thought of the idea while flying 40,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.   Explore how he’s helped over 1,200 farm families through Farm Rescue since it was first started with support from dozens of organizations including Nutrien.   If you or someone you know is in need of support, call Farm Rescue at 701-252-2017.
