Yesterday afternoon I was headed to town and decided to take a back road rather than the highway. Used to drive this route on a regular basis a few years back when the highway was under repair. Thinking I would see some tractors and combines setting out getting ready for harvest, I saw a sight I really did not expect.
As I approached a farm that usually has several John Deere tractors setting around, I noticed something looked much different than usual. It only took a second look to see what was different, and I realized what was wrong:
The farmers machine shed, and all of the tractors and equipment in and around it, had burned to the ground, total loss on everything. If I had not saw these tractors previously, I would not have known what brand or model they were. Nothing left, tractors were sitting on the rims, tires completely gone, no paint, glass, etc. Once working machines now just ruins. Very sad sight, I don't know what happened but I certainly hope that no one was hurt. Can't seem to find a news story on it, but I do remember seeing the local volunteer Fire Dept out the other night, guess that is where they went.
A shameful sight, kinda wish I had taken the highway now.
