Farm Rescue, a non- profit group based in North Dakota is now taking applications for spring planting assistance for anyone suffering from an illness, injury or natural disaster. Farm Rescue’s Dan Erdmann recommends you apply early.

He says there’s no specific deadline for applying for assistance or referring someone but early applications are welcomed since they only have limited resources.

Erdmann says besides planting and harvesting assistance, Farm Rescue has added some other services aimed at ranchers.

He says to apply or refer someone just log onto their website at FarmRescue.org or phone 701-252-2017.
