Farm Aid announced today that it will activate its Family Farm Disaster Fund in support of Illinois family farmers hardest hit by this summer’s drought. Farm Aid will channel emergency assistance to distressed areas, pledging an immediate $10,000 in relief funds.“Every family farm helps secure the future of America’s food supply,” said Farm Aid Executive Director Carolyn Mugar. “We cannot allow this drought to cause the loss of a single family farm. Today we are activating our Family Farm Disaster Fund to welcome donations so that farm families get help in a timely manner.”
Individuals can contribute to Farm Aid’s disaster fund on-line at http://www.farmaid.org/.
