AgFirst, CoBank, Farm Credit East, Farm Credit Illinois, Farm Credit Mid-America, Farm Credit Services of America, Farm Credit of Western Arkansas, Land O'Lakes, and Rural 1st have committed nearly $700,000 to national, state and local charities. The beneficiaries are the American Red Cross, Feeding America, the Kentucky Agriculture Relief Fund, the Kentucky Rural Electric Disaster Fund, the Tennessee Farm Disaster Response Fund, the Mayfield Tornado Relief Fund, and Rotary International Dresden, Tennessee. Meanwhile, Tyson Foods donated $100,000 in wildfire relief to Kansas farmers and ranchers. The Kansas Livestock Foundation is accepting donations to support farmers and ranchers impacted by the fire. The fires burned an estimated 400,000 acres across four counties, a region home to several cattle suppliers for Tyson Foods.
