[AT] Farm Rescue - for farmers in crisis

[Herbert Metz]

Started in 2006 in N.D., now in S.D., MT, & MN, has helped 130 farm families in crisis, such as illness, injury, natural disaster, with planting or harvesting.  Founder is Bill Gross, UPS pilot who grew up on farm near Cleveland, N.D.; he still owns the farm.  Farm Rescue, a non-profit, is based in Jamestown, N.D.  As sponsorships and donations increase, Farm Rescue plans are to expand into other states. This summarizes the cover article in Sept 10-25 American Profile newspaper, a 24 page insert.  I can remember Dad spending a day with a dozen or more neighbors when they plowed the wheat stubble ground for a recently widowed neighbor lady.  Herb
