Bailing on Brett
Donation protected
With the alarming drought happening in western Canada it has been difficult for farmers and ranchers to produce adequate crops and feed for livestock. Here is the story of a young 17 year old kid trying to make a mark in Agriculture only to be robbed blindly. Here is the story his mother, Deanna Dilworth Mitchell, wrote on Facebook:
“ So as most of you know my son Brett has been selling square bales, but he isn’t just baling our fields or using our equipment. Brett purchased his own tractor and haying equipment and personally rented himself some land off the neighbours, well sadly today Brett went out to the hay field and all the square bales he made yesterday (about 350) where gone … yes STOLEN !!

I can’t tell you how upset I am, this is a 17!year old boy who is not out hanging with his friends (he actually has hired most of his friends to work with him), he had missed horse competitions, currently missing a family function because he has chosen to build a business and stay home haying. These 350 bales went missing last night or sometime today and has made Brett loose about 2100$ income. Being a farmer is hard enough without being stolen from. I’m so mad at the society we live in today

The agriculture community is known for working together and helping lift each other in trying times, it has also been a target for scammers of late. To show Brett that perseverance pays I have created this to get the young farmer back on track and show that when times get tough you have a great big community to back you.
