Letter to the editor: Than you, farmers

On July 4, a fire brewed out of control on Weimer Ranch/Thompson Properties on Fivemile Road. The fire had burned up to 100 acres of this year’s wheat crop.

The farmers’ fire list was called and they came to help put out the wheat fire. The farmers and helpers drove their trucks into the wheat field to put out the fire with the water and hose units that they carry on the back of their pickup trucks. They are all armed and ready with their units to come give a hand to help put out any fires.

The farmers, neighbors, firemen and anybody who just came to help, we give you a huge thank you! With your help, we were able to save the rest of the wheat to harvest this year. We saved the corrals, the barns and kept the fire from jumping the road. We appreciate all your time and efforts, and your sacrifice to help us put out the wheat fire.

Thank you very much!
