How is LDR ND
helping?
As of November 10, 2009:
- all requests for rebuilding
homes in Dickinson are completed
- LDR has been working to
secure, coordinate and assign volunteers to assist with repair and replacing
of flood damaged livestock fencing and debris removal in pastures and
tillable fields in six counties in Western ND including Grant, Sioux,
Emmons, Morton, Hettinger and Logan Counties. This effort will continue
until freeze-up or completion. Volunteers were housed at Stone Butte Ranch
in Elgin which is central to many producers who requested help. LDR
provided the food for the volunteers and our partner Salvation Army
graciously cooked the evening meal as the weary volunteers returned.
Dollars that have been donated by Farm Aid or through an anonymous donor
have been allocated to those producers who are struggling to purchase
fencing materials as well as household expenses and operational needs.
- In partnership with Fellowship of
Christian Farmers, ND Farm Bureau, Hands Across North Dakota and Lutheran
Layman’s League, 14 miles of fences were replaced/repaired by 140 volunteers
who donated 1,100 hours assisting10 producers. The remaining 20 miles of
fence repair will be addressed in Spring 2010.
