Tractor Donated to the Ranch


A tractor is one of those essential tools that we thought that we would have to go with out for a long while at the Ranch. That is until Jim Farman, a long time Ranch Partner, called Ron on Monday and told him that a friend wanted to donate one his tractor to the Ranch.

Tom Studt, who is a consultant and owns a nursery near Gull Lake, generously donated his 1979 Model 5030 Allis Chalmers to the Ranch, and even delivered it. When he started it up to off load it from the trailer I was impressed by how well it ran. Tom said that he tuned it up for us that day and that if we ever have any problems with it to give him a call and he could help us out.



Before Tom left he walked the Ranch with Ron and I. As we walked I reflected on the progress we have made since this time last year. We did not even have the road in at this time last year, it is nothing short of amazing. This miracle has been in a large part performed by many of the donations of time, talent and treasure from all of our Ranch Partners.


Sunny Crest thanks Tom and his family for their generous and thoughtful donation.


Blog Launch for Sunny Crest Youth Ranch


We have decided to start our own blog. Every week, and sometimes every day, there are small miracles that happen on the Ranch and it has been impossible to keep all the Ranch Partners informed of them all. We thought a blog would be the best way to keep everyone up to date on life at the Ranch. So this is our soft launch, by the end of the week we will post an update of some of the events that have taken place at the Ranch this Spring.

Please provide feedback if you have questions or comments about our posts.

Thank you.
