Farm Bureau Family Helps Neighbors Weather the Storm
By Zippy Duvall, American Farm Bureau President
“What can we do to help?” Those are the first calls, texts and emails I get when a disaster hits farm country. It never surprises me to hear from Farm Bureau leaders across the country immediately looking for ways to help one another. Loading up the truck to help our neighbors is the natural, first response for farmers and ranchers. In fact, no sooner have the storm clouds cleared than our tires are already kicking up dust as we head down the road to see what we can do. The Farm Bureau family shows up for our neighbors near and far.
In communities across our nation, an already tough year has gotten harder as wildfires, hurricanes and derechos have swept through. These storms don’t care if you live in a city or out in the country, or if your farm is big or small. As we look for ways to help and send relief, state and county Farm Bureaus are go-to resources on and off the farm. The help the Farm Bureau family provides is always focused on what best serves the needs and communities impacted.
