Hello all, our FFA alumni association is starting a hay drive to round up donations to bring out to those in need. I'll be spearheading the project and making the delivery so I'm looking for areas of need that may or may not have been overlooked by the national media. To cut down on costs we may be looking for places to spend the night while travelling. If anyone knows who to contact or has any suggestions please feel free to contact me. Thanks,Eric 5702381952 cell ------------- Life is tough,but it's tougher when you're stupid. - John Wayne |

The Lancaster Event Center, in Lincoln, is accepting hay donations. Kind of a gathering place for that-then shipping to specific locations is arranged ------------- Greg Kroeker 1950 WD with wide front and Freeman trip loader |

Spoke with a contact in Verdigre, Nebraska and they're feeding 700 head a day from the staging area at the Verdigre livestock yards. They currently have enough inventory to only last into early next week. They anticipate needing feed until the middle May ------------- Life is tough,but it's tougher when you're stupid. - John Wayne |
