Des Moines, IA- If you see green cans of Busch Light for sale, it’s part of a fundraiser sponsored by John Deere and Anheuser-Busch for Farm Rescue.
Radio Iowa reports that, Farm Rescue is an organization that plants and harvests crops for farmers who’ve had a major illness, injury, or natural disaster.
Matt Blaylock, a manager at Deere for fundraising events such as this, says the group has helped more than 850 farm families in need in the past 16 years.
“When you’ve got planting to be done or harvesting to be done and in a lot of farm families there’s a main person and if they have an illness or something goes wrong you only have a small window to go ahead and get a crop in the ground,” Blaylock says.
Deere and Anheuser-Busch will each donate one dollar for each case of Busch Light sold, up to a total of 200,000 dollars.
