The owners of Ashley Businesses are joining forces with Marion County Church to help Florida farmers and ranchers impacted by Hurricane Ian.

Nate Fox and Ashley Barr, owners and operators of Herd Livestock, have begun collecting items to donate to farmers and ranchers in southwest Florida. Fox and Barr have built a trailer at The Shepherd’s Fellowship at 1647 Marysville Road in Marion and are currently accepting donations. They plan to head south in October. On the 24th, supplies were delivered to farmers they had been in contact with over the past few weeks.

Fox said the vast majority of relief efforts have been to help people in Florida, and he and Barr want to focus on helping farmers who have lost livestock or animals in desperate need of assistance.
