In response, Elizabeth Marshall of Glenmary Farms launched the Help Us, Help Them benefit auction on SaleRing.live to rally support for those impacted. In this episode, David talks with Elizabeth, volunteer Bethany Daigle, and Chris Mackey from the TN Ag Extension Service about how this auction can bring real relief to devastated farming communities.
