If you made a charitable contribution at last week's Farm Progress Show, your contribution likely went to an effort to assist farmers who need a helping hand. 

Vain Clayton is one of those volunteers who make Farm Rescue an organization that is growing in its mission. He indicates they are a volunteer group who will bale hay, plant crops, and even harvest for farmers who are faced with obstacles like health issues or natural disasters. 

Farmers can be quick to refuse help; however, they are trying to break the "prideful farmer" stereotype. Vain encourages family members or friends to call on behalf of farmers who may need that extra push to ask for help. 

Farm Rescue is always looking for more sponsorships and donations to fuel its growth. They began serving Illinois two years ago, and since then have expanded to Wisconsin and Kentucky on top of their previous 10 states, and they are looking to go even further. 

Clayton notes the Farm Progress Show is a big part of how they get their message out to local farmers. He boasts the organization's focus on community and serving your neighbors. 

You can register as a volunteer, donate, and learn more about the organization by visiting farmrescue.org.
