Fence Posts Delivered to Western Nebraska
Orphan Grain Train driver, Bob Schleppenbach, left for Farnam, Nebraska this morning to deliver a load of treated fence posts to the area. Another OGT driver, Dan Pollack, after picking up a full semi-load of barbed wire out of Oklahoma will also be taking his load to Farnam.
The western Nebraska fires began in Morrill County on March 12th. People from all around the Midwest have rallied in support of the ranchers and farmers of the area. Convoys of semis loaded with hay have brought thousands of bales to the area for hungry livestock. Through the donations of many people in the area, OGT has been able to deliver 15 loads of hay. In the next few days, OGT will be delivering two more loads of fencing supplies, treated and hedge posts, and continuing to bring support to the area in the next few months.
