The Hays Daily News – by Sherman Smith
TOPEKA — A convoy carrying hundreds of bales of hay is en route from Illinois to relieve Kansas ranchers with scorched fields.
The (Champaign) News-Gazette reported Illinois farmer Vern Rohrscheib and his daughter, Lynn Rohrscheib, helped organize the effort. The convoy left Fairmount, Ill., about a half-hour east of Champaign, early Thursday.
Speaking by phone from the road, Lynn Rohrscheib told the Topeka Capital-Journal the convoy had encountered a few setbacks and was just entering Missouri mid-morning Thursday. With a route planned across northern Kansas, they hoped to make it south to Salina before the end of the day.
The final 3.5 hours of the 800-mile journey was to take them to Ashland this morning.
Ashland is in Clark County, which along with Comanche County saw more than 500,000 acres burned as wildfires swept across two dozen Kansas counties and nearly 700,000 acres in early March.
Lynn Rohrscheib said the convoy has 11 semis pulling trailers loaded with hay, and another semi is expected to join the effort. There also is a pickup with a service trailer for the convoy, and another pickup with supplies, such as mineral feed, feed buckets and scoops, gathered with the help of a Future Farmers of America chapter.
All together, they will carry 240 round bales and 200 square bales of hay to help those whose fields were lost.
“We’ve been absolutely blown away by people’s generosity,” Lynn Rohrscheib told the News-Gazette. “You can’t help but tear up, and I can’t imagine being in their shoes.”
