Since 2019, Crops for Community has raised between $80,000 and $90,000 for Central Butte.
One group of farmers is still looking for land — and finding it could have a big impact on their town this year.
So for the last three years, volunteers have rented a quarter section of land and asked local businesses to donate seeds, fertilizers and chemicals. Volunteers bring their own equipment to farm the land, and the profit they make after selling the crop goes to support Centre Butte’s rink, personal care home, splash park and other projects.
Given the amount of money that normally comes from this fundraiser, Central Butte’s chief administrative officer, Kyle Van Den Bosch, is feeling a mix of enthusiasm and some trepidation. If volunteers don’t find the land, Van Den Bosch says “it could put a dent in some operations,” and the town would have to work hard to find more money elsewhere.As it stands, the rink — which also regularly hosts meetings, weddings and dances — needs some repairs, and Erickson said Iver Main Place, Central Butte’s nonprofit personal care home, has been “really in a crunch” because of the pandemic.
