| Article: | Help for those in need PICKRELL - Driving a red semitrailer loaded with 30 large round hay bales - about 25 tons - Robert Harms of Pickrell began a 500-mile journey on Friday to provide a little aid to livestock owners in need.
The hay, donated by 13 farmers who are part of the congregation of Zion Lutheran Church of rural Pickrell, will be taken to the Harrison area, in northwestern Nebraska, where it will be distributed to livestock owners struggling from the effects of ongoing drought and fires.
The hay was loaded Friday afternoon and Harms said he would probably cover about 200 miles on Friday and cover the remaining 300 miles of the trip on Saturday.
“I think it's a good idea,” said John Sievers, pastor at Zion Lutheran Church. |
