March 30 Benefit
To Aid Fire Victims
COVINGTON (Tioga Co.)
On Feb. 10, life changed for the
Wivell family when their life's
work was ravaged by fire.
The milking barn was de
stroyed. claiming 40 milking Jer
seys, 10 calves, 20 sheep, and 100
lambs. The fire also destroyed the
contents of a well-stocked ma
chinery repair shed, five tractors,
a TMR mixer, four-wheelers,
snowmobiles, other equipment,
and tons of hay.
“We’re still compiling the list,’’
said Mary Wivell, who owns the
farm with her husband Don. The
two were on vacation when the
blaze tore through the barn.
What they learned had hap
pened was that the morning
milking had just been completed
and their son, Tom, had gone
home for breakfast. A neighbor
noticed flames coming from the
barn and knocked on the Wivell’s
door, but they were not at home,
so he went to another house to
call for help. By the time Tom re
turned to the bam, the flames
prevented him from entering the
structure.
Don had planned to retire
from milking cows in 2007 and
expand the beef, sheep, and goat
enterprises. With the loss of so
many milking cows and the en
tire milking facility, they are not
sure if they will continue to milk
cows. They have, however, al
ready ordered a building to re
place the garage and machinery
shed and plan to build some sort
of barn for the animals.

“It’s all up in the air,” said
Mary.
The Wivells can’t say enough
about the friends and neighbors
who have helped them at this dif
ficult time. Numerous friends
and neighbors helped move cows
and prepare a vacant barn,
owned by Scott House, for milk
ing. Others have helped in many
other ways.
“I can’t begin thanking every
one,” said Mary. “You could
name 100 names and you
couldn't get all of them.”
Further help will be given in
the form of a benefit dinner on
Sunday, March 30, from noon to

Farm Group Seeks
Risk Management Hearings
WASHINGTON, D.C. Na
tional Farmers Union board of
directors recently requested a
complete congressional review of
risk management tools for farm
ers and ranchers.
“Farm risk management pro
grams have not been able to ad
dress the most recent weather-re
lated disasters that have spread
across the nation in the past two
years,” said NFU President Dave
Frederickson. “The lack of ade
quate, permanent risk manage
ment tools leaves many produc
ers at risk. The current voids that
exist force producers to seek con
gressional ad hoc disaster assist
ance year after year, which has
become increasingly difficult to
rely upon.”
In a letter to the Senate and
House agriculture committees,
the Farmers Union board pro
posed congressional hearings to
explore the inadequacies of risk
management programs. The
farm leaders also outlined the fol
lowing goals for farm risk man
agement programs:
