The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association and its foundation created the Hope for the Heartland Drought Relief Fund to assist ranchers struggling to feed their livestock amid drought. In addition, the North Dakota Corn Growers Association and Corn Utilization Council have encouraged farmers to provide free or low-cost corn grazing or corn stalk bales to ranchers. Association board members have already donated hundreds of acres and tons of bales.
