On the morning of August 13th, 2025, a historic barn built in 1848 was destroyed by a devastating fire at a local farm in Perry Township, Pennsylvania. Dozens of cattle perished in the blaze. Three silos were badly damaged due to the heat and had to be demolished. Equipment, including tractors and wagons, was also lost.

The cost to rebuild as original would exceed 800 thousand. Insurance proceeds will not begin to cover this cost. Community support is greatly appreciated and in addition to monetary donations, if anyone has Harvestore brand silos, preferably 20-by-70 or 20-by-80 feet in size, they are willing to part with for a fee or as a donation, please contact Organizer via the GoFundMe platform.

The organizer is a CPA and friend of Jake. The page has been set up with his blessing and his request that it be managed by me. The rebuild is taking up most of his time. Again, your support is greatly appreciated in aiding a farmer and all-around good person to return to his livelihood.
