ccwhitey Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 My grandpa was very unfortunate to be the victum of a freak accident. He is 68 yrs old and was wanting to retire soon, but now I think that he might be forced to. My brother was down on the farm at the time of the fire and unfortunately it was my brother's birthday the day when this happened. He a link to the story http://www.effinghamdailynews.com/local/local_story_163133025.html The fire was so big that the local insurance agents said that they had to call in the corperate big wigs. They are coming out this Monday. Grandpa said that he lost 4 tractors in the fire, 3 planters, and all of this bailing equipment. He does have a old 6 row planter left but he said that he can't beans with it. He doesn't know what he should do because of his age and the fact that doesn't have all of his planting done.

KirkV Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Yeah sorry to hear of it but he was smart enough to be insured and I would think neighbors would help with the plantings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Oh man Jared, that's too bad! Fire is a horrible thing to be a victim of. Prayers sent for your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccwhitey Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks guys for the prayers. I went down there today to look at all of the damage and to say it was extensive would be an understatement. I do think that the insurance is going to cover most of the cost its just that it was such a shock when it happened. The insurance agents come out tomorrow at 8 in the morning. Thanks again for all of the prayers. Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
