New Mexico Ranchers Receive Hay
On Wednesday, August 12th an Orphan Grain Train load of 34 large round bales was distributed to local ranchers in Las Vegas, New Mexico. Las Vegas, New Mexico, is facing urgent needs due to the long-term recovery from the 2022 Hermit’s Peak–Calf Canyon wildfire, ongoing water infrastructure damage, and the continued impact of post-fire flooding and drought. Ranchers there are needing hay for their livestock.
Thank you, to Lowell Krieger for trucking this load. Thank you, to Janna Lopez for organizing the distribution. Thank you to local San Miguel and Mora County community volunteers for showing up to load the bales for each recipient.
Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24
