(NewsDakota.com/NorthDakotaAgConnection.com) – Hess Corp. has made a generous contribution of $50,000 to Farm Rescue, aimed at assisting the organization in purchasing a tractor specifically designed for pulling a row crop planter.

Farm Rescue, a nonprofit organization, has been dedicated to its mission of providing free planting, haying, harvesting, commodity-hay transportation, and livestock feeding assistance to farm and ranch families facing major injuries, illnesses, or natural disasters. However, due to a prolonged agricultural downturn, the availability of sponsored machinery has diminished. In light of this, the donation from Hess Corp. comes as a significant support to Farm Rescue.

Hess Corp. recognizes the integral role of agriculture in North Dakota and acknowledges that family farms serve as the backbone of the state. The company emphasizes the importance of supporting these farms, as their success directly impacts the well-being of local communities. Brent Lohnes, Hess North Dakota General Manager, expressed pride in Hess’s association with Farm Rescue, as it allows them to uplift others during their times of hardship.

This donation from Hess Corp. exemplifies the commitment of businesses towards the welfare of farm families and the agricultural community as a whole. By enabling Farm Rescue to acquire essential equipment, Hess is making a significant impact on the organization’s ability to provide vital assistance to farm families experiencing unexpected crises. This partnership underscores the importance of collaboration between corporate entities and nonprofit organizations to support the resilience and sustainability of the agricultural sector.
