Winter storms and heavy wet snow weakened the big barn at Taylor Farm in Londonderry Vermont, causing it to collapse Sunday morning. One farm worker was slightly injured, fourty plus cows were trapped, and one cow was killed. Immediately Jon Wright the owner of Taylor Farm, had to send 20 cows to auction to ease the situation. Placing the other cows in the milking parlor. It is with great sadness to be reporting this news as farmers all over are getting hit with obstacles, challenging them to stay in operation. Strangely enough it was almost two years ago to the day that the big barn collapsed in similar conditions. This is a devastating loss to a good friend and his family. This 180 year old dairy farm needs your support. Please consider matching my $100.00 donation.
