Organization helps farms and ranches in need
Farm Rescue Serves Nebraska and Surrounding States
Learn how they assist
When family farm operations experience crisis due to injury, illness or natural disaster, getting the work done can be a struggle. Fortunately, an organization dedicated to assisting farm families can come alongside them to relieve the strain. Farm Rescue is a nonprofit organization that provides free planting, haying, harvest and livestock feeding assistance to farm and ranch families in crisis.
These services are provided by volunteers trained to operate Farm Rescue’s equipment, with the hope that the family’s farming legacy can be extended far into the future. Since it was founded in 2005, Farm Rescue has assisted over 1200 farm families. The organization relies heavily on referrals to learn of farms in need of their help.
