QUINCY, Ill. — Titan International Inc. is reprising its "Flags Over Harvest" fund-raising campaign this summer to support Farm Rescue, a nonprofit organization that plants and harvests crops free of charge for family farmers who have suffered a major illness, injury or natural disaster.
"Agriculture is at the heart of who we are at Titan," Titan President and CEO Paul Reitz said.
"(W)e feel a special connection to farmers and appreciate their decision to buy American-made tires because it supports thousands of U.S. jobs to keep the nation running. By partnering with Farm Rescue again, we look forward to raising more money to assist farmers in need."
In support of the "Flags Over Harvest" campaign, Titan is donating $5 to Farm Rescue for each time farmers request an American flag to display on their equipment.

Last year as part of its inaugural "Flags Over Harvest" initiative, Titan raised $4,500 for Farm Rescue and has a goal to raise more funds this year.
Titan's history with the "Flags Over Harvest" campaign includes donating to Farm Rescue in 2019 to assist farmers affected by major spring floods in the Midwest and in 2020 to help farmers dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Titan also will partner with the non-profit at the Farm Progress Show, Husker Harvest Days and the Iowa State Fair in the coming months.
"Last year's funds helped give farm families a chance to continue their livelihood," Bill Gross, founder and president of Farm Rescue, said, noting that the charity assisted 121 families throughout its seven-state service territory in 2021.
