This will be added to my "list of things I will never understand"...
A GoFundMe page has been created for these folks, to cover insurance deductibles and rental costs to "get the crop in".  Give it some consideration if you have appreciation/admiration for those that get our food to us.

    Whole thing smells fishy, since when is lighting a million dollars worth of equipment, in the farmers words a “prank”? Maybe a insurance grab dunno

    This guys interview seems a little fishy. Hopefully it's not some type of insurance fraud and is legit. 

    I just saw a news report last week with another farmer who had his equipment burned. It could have possibly been this guy's dad who did the interview. The older gentleman said it was the second time they've had their equipment set on fire. 

    Insurance can't be cheap either way after all of this....
