What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The North Dakota Farmers Union delivered 40,000 pounds of spareribs to the Great Plains Food Bank in North Dakota. This donation is part of a five-state giving initiative by Farmers Union Enterprises, which is distributing pork to food banks in South Dakota and Wisconsin. The spareribs were sourced from Redwood Farms in Estherville, Iowa, and will be funneled through a network serving over 100 communities.
