$2-million in damages estimated in farm shed fire near Taber
TABER, AB – A farm famous for its Taber corn has lost a significant supply of another product.
At approximately midnight on Saturday, Dec. 12/Sunday, Dec.13, a large shed at Johnson Fresh Farms went up in flames. The building was completely destroyed.
Owner James Johnson says someone who was driving through the area reported it to fire department and a neighbour again put in a call.
“It was right full of Timothy hay and we had one loader in there just kind of parked on the outside – there was just enough room for it to kind of fit right in so we just parked it there because we were going to start hauling some Timothy hay out of there.”
