Hay relief program aids West Central farmers
Jim and Janet Wood of Rusk County run a FarmAid funded hay relief effort. Since April 15 they’ve distributed 14 semi loads of Iowa hay to over 50 short farmers, helping about 53 area households. The program, seeded by Willie Nelson’s FarmAid, relies on volunteers, trucking from Wisconsin, and purchased hay at cost or free for those in need. The Woods faced their own dairy crisis in 1983 from tainted feed, leading to bankruptcy and recovery as they continue rebuilding a herd. Call 715-868-5682 to help or request hay.
