National Farm Rescuer Day is observed in the United States every third Thursday of March to recognize the efforts of volunteers who assist farmers in crisis. Established in 2017 by the nonprofit organization Farm Rescue, the day honors those who lend their time, talents, or financial support to help farming families facing challenges such as illness, injury, or natural disasters. Farm Rescue, founded by Bill Gross in 2005, operates under principles emphasizing community support and collaboration among farmers. The organization has aided over 1,100 farm and ranch families across various states, providing essential services like planting and harvesting assistance. Participants can engage in the day by volunteering, donating, or promoting the cause on social media using the hashtags #FarmRescuerDay and #BeAFarmRescuer.
