The National Corn Growers Association's (NCGA) Feed, Food & Industrial Use Action Team recently agreed to contribute $10,000 in support of wildfire-relief efforts within Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

NCGA also drew attention to those in need of relief assistance with NCGA CEO Chris Novak's recent column about the wildfire's devastation. 

For anyone looking to provide help to producers impacted by the wildfires, Colorado Farm Bureau has activated a disaster fund, and the  Colorado Cattlemen's Association and the Northeast Colorado Cattlemen's Association has also set up relief efforts.

During Agriculture Day at the Capitol last week, Colorado Ag Council Chair Julie McCaleb reported that the Cattlemen's associations have so far raised about $150,000 in their efforts, and Colorado Farm Bureau had raised an additional $80,000-plus.

Farm Credit of Southern Colorado and other farm credit organizations recently contributed $25,000 to the relief effort.

Furthermore, the Haxtun Chamber of Commerce has an account set up at the Haxtun Community Federal Credit Union for monetary donations. To learn how to assist in these efforts, you can go the Haxtun Community Fire Relief Facebook page, or call the Haxtun Community Federal Credit Union at (970) 774-7396. 

Additional information about the many ongoing relief efforts can also be tracked at the NE Colorado Immediate Fire Relief for Farmers & Ranchers Facebook page.
