The community has already donated around €10 000 in less than a day to a farm affected by the fire
Since the devastating fire that broke out on Friday at Ieva Staniene's farm in the Telšiai region, the farming community has already donated around €10,000 to an account.
„Agrobitė“ reminds that a huge fire broke out on Friday evening in the village of Kalnėnai, Gadūnavas municipality. Here, 7 fire-fighting and rescue crews were extinguishing a hangar where all the farm machinery was packed. Most of it was burnt.
According to Zita Dargienė, the head of the Telšiai District Farmers' Union, Staniene's dairy farm was still considered one of the most productive in Lithuania.
"It has not yet been calculated, but the losses could be close to one million euros. „Angare had all the agricultural machinery – combine harvester, chopper, tractors. More than half of the machinery was completely burnt down," Z. Dargienė said on Saturday.
The farming community was soon approached to raise funds to at least partially cover the farm's losses.
The property was not insured. Over 100 dairy cows remained on the farm. It is also reported that the farm has forage for the time being.
