Nebraska Farm Bureau’s Disaster Relief Fund has received over $3 million in donations and paid out $1 million. That’s according to Farm Bureau Foundation Executive Director Megahan Schafer. She says they’re now starting a second round of disaster aid distribution.

She says it’s simple to apply on the Farm Bureau’s website at nefb.org/disaster.

Schafer says they’ve received donations from every state in the U.S., as well as several foreign countries.

Schafer says they’ve even received a donation from an Omaha School where the students raised $150.
