Help the Midwestern Farmers
That great food we love to grill comes from somewhere you know. As many of you are aware the Midwest is having some of its worse floods ever. Some of the people that are affected the most are the medium and small sized farmers in the area that run community-supported agriculture operations and help supply the local framers’ markets. The biggest issue are these are the farmers that do not have flood or crop insurance. These farmers run on very slim margins and are very dependant on their crops to make ends meet.
If you think you can help, please visit Farm Aid. All money donated will go to the small to medium sized farmers that really need the help. If you cannot give money at this time, please help raise awareness by pass this information along on your blog, in forums, or any other way.
