FARM TORCHED: Family raising money after combine, corn head, tractor and two semis burned

CLAY COUNTY, Neb. — State Fire Marshal Investigators are working to determine the cause of a fire that destroyed farm equipment last Thursday.

Clay Center Fire Department and Sutton Fire Department responded to reports of fire in a rural Clay County cornfield around 7 a.m.

An official loss estimate has not been determined, but the Rempel family is raising $50,000 on GoFundMe. As of Monday morning, more than $25,000 had been raised.

"My family’s world was changed in an instant on October 15," the fundraiser page reads. "My brother is a fourth generation farmer in Central Nebraska, and loves working the same land his great-grandfather worked. He received a phone call from the Sutton volunteer fire department around 7 a.m. saying that all of his harvest equipment was on fire. This included a combine and corn head, a tractor, and two semis. What makes this so unusual is the early morning timing and the fact that all of his equipment was parked away from each other. Our family wants to take care of the resources we have been blessed with. We want to finish harvesting our remaining acres and fulfill our grain contracts. We want to provide for our families. And most of all, we want to continue farming another four generations."

In an interview with KTIC Radio, Rempel avoided making political connections to the fire, but he did confirm that two flags in support of President Donald Trump were on his combine. KETV is working to confirm this independently.

Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire.

"The family is moved by the encouragement they have received on Facebook, from phone calls, text messages, and personal visits," the fundraiser page reads.

And THIS is why I think Trump voters are under-polled.

As they used to say in some old westerns: who ever did this needs killing.

Since we’ve allowed the other side to be trained as rabid animals in our education system, we shouldn’t be surprised. If your opponent is “literally Hitler,” than no measures to stop him are too much

This is really sickening. Find the libtard puke(s) who did this and send them down a gauntlet of farmers armed with horse whips, baseball bats, etc.

There’s also a website where libs can look up donors to Trump. Called “Find a Racist Near You” for ANTIFA types to track down Trump supporters and do violence.

Some people are getting ‘warning letters’ if they have out Trump signs that they’ll be targeted if he wins re-election.

There’s also a leftist plan to shut down the economy if/when Trump wins re-election involving targeting 18-wheeler shipping.

After we win in November, they’ll be rioting and it will be more Weather Underground-style activities groups like ANTIFA will be plotting.

I can PM info. Don’t want to put links like that up here...

And most Trump supporters still do not believe that those on the Left are coming after them if the Democrats manage to steal this election. Or when they regain power. Or in denial and don’t want to face facts.

First I hope they catch the arsonists that did this, and second I hope the farmer was insured. That equipment total was probably a million dollars, easy.

Did he have any security cams about?..................

NAW, they can’t be that bad, can they? After all, they are the “’loyal’ opposition”!

And it’s just SOME Big Media reporters are anti-Trump, which is their 1A RIGHT!

The “protests” are “mostly peaceful”!

Vote for the pedphile, he’s better than TRUMP!

Stay ready for Nov. 4, and STOP being SURPRISED!

Don’t be surprised if the investigators say it was spontaneous combustion that started the fires. Neither arson nor terrorism suspected.

It’s possible they’re conservatives and someone didn’t like that, but there is no evidence here.

And, what’s the chance of NE having many libs feeling free to do so?

Could be just some personal hatred, or just for fun.

Honestly, people, where is there any evidence this is about being conservative?

Now, if this happened here in central MD, I’d be more inclined to think it could be politically motivated by libs. We have plenty here, being lib is expected, and likewise of course libs go easy on each other.

But this is NE.
