Iowa Farmers Donating Hay to Nebraska
USAgNet - 03/26/2019
Amid some of the worst flooding in Nebraska history, Iowa farmers have joined together to bring aid to victims. A group of local farmers, led by Robert Broulik and James Garnant, left Iowa Friday morning with an oversize-load semitruck laden with 75 bales
of hay. They were moved by the countless images online showing how the Nebraska region has been impacted by recent flooding. It's been so bad the damage has been visible from space.
Some areas west of Omaha have been completely flooded or even turned into islands in some cases, forcing residents in dozens of communities to evacuate, reports Fox News.
Steve Wellman, the director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, said that food such as hay for livestock continues to be the biggest need for flood victims in the area, according to the Omaha World-Herald. That's a big reason why the farmers and
communities have decided to help.
The two farmers called each other and put the plan into action, mentioning how they should "take some hay out to the guys in Nebraska." Other farmers in the area caught wind of the idea decided to help.
The truck had a message plastered on the back for all to see, "Iowa Hay to Nebraska Farmers & Rangers Flood Relief". The group said that giving thoughts and prayers is one thing, but taking action is another.
