[AT] Farm Rescue - for farmers in crisis

[Dan Folske]

Farm Rescue has been here a couple of weeks trying to help out a local 
farmer has farm was totally destroyed by an EF3 tornado in mid August. I 
think they've only managed about 1 day of harvest since they got here 
because of rain.

The farmer farmer survived without injury but every building and piece of 
machinery at the farm was destroyed and one traveler on the highway past the 
farm was killed.

Here are a few pictures and info about the tornado.
