Crawford County Cattlemen Organize Relief Effort for Nebraska Wildfire Victims

Joel Kuhlmann, Phil Stracke, and Dale Collins will join us live on KDSN during the 9 a.m. hour tomorrow to discuss how the Crawford County Cattlemen's are stepping up to support Nebraska ranchers impacted by recent wildfires.

The group has established a special account at Crawford County Trust and Savings Bank and is asking for monetary donations to help cover essential needs including 250-pound protein tubs, lick tanks, fencing supplies, and the cost of trucking hay as recovery efforts continue.

If you're interested in helping! Make sure to listen to KDSN Radio tomorrow morning (March 31) right after "The Morning Scoop" with Mick (between 9-9:30am). Phil Stracke has spearheaded this effort and he along Joel Kuhlmann and Dale Collins will be giving some information in the morning. We would appreciate anything you can give to help support these fellow cattlemen who have taken such a devastating hit with these fires.
