Titan kicks off ‘Flags Over Harvest’ campaign to help American farmers

QUINCY — Titan International, Inc. recently kicked off its second annual “Flags Over Harvest” campaign to support American farmers and their commitment to buying American-made Titan and Goodyear^® farm tires.

Building on the success of last year’s campaign, Titan is giving away a free American flag for farmers to display on their equipment during harvest season. For each flag requested, Titan will donate $5 to 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.

In a press release, Paul Reitz, Titan president and CEO said, “Agriculture is at the heart of who we are at Titan. As the only farm tire and wheel company headquartered in the U.S., we 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.”

Titan raised $4,500 last year for Farm Rescue as part of its inaugural campaign. 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.

“Farm Rescue is honored to be a recipient of the ‘Flags Over Harvest’ campaign once again this year,” said Bill Gross, founder and president of Farm Rescue. “Last year’s funds helped give farm families a chance to continue their livelihood.  In 2021, Farm Rescue and its army of volunteers were honored to extend a helping hand to 121 families across our seven-state service territory. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Titan International, Inc. with the goal of helping America’s farm families in times of crisis.”
