Farm Sanctuary needs a new tractor! 

From Farm Sanctuary:

Our main tractor at the New York Shelter has broken. Due to the age of the
tractor, we now need to purchase a new one immediately. The cost of a new
tractor is $36,000, a major and time sensitive purchase for our shelter, so
we are writing today to ask for your help!

On our farm, the tractor is our most essential piece of equipment. Each day,
we use the tractor to clean our large animal (cows, pigs, sheep, goats)
barns, providing animals rescued from abuse and neglect with warm, cozy, and
clean bedding. The tractor is crucial for cutting, baling, and stacking hay
and to deliver hay to each barn to feed the animals. It is also needed to
mow all of our pastures — especially critical this time of year — for the
animals and for special projects such as grading roads, backfilling,
ditching and other farm maintenance.

Over 600 animals in our care are counting on us, and we’re counting on you.
Please help our New York shelter purchase a tractor ASAP so that our vital
rescue and shelter work can continue.

To make a donation now, please call 607-583-2225 ext. 221, donate online, or
mail checks to Farm Sanctuary, PO Box 150, Watkins Glen, NY 14891.
