NORWICH – Even though September’s record-breaking storms and subsequent floods took out a great deal of Chenango County’s crops, local farmers are supporting the philanthropic ‘Hay for Texas’ effort.

According to coordinator Herm Sherwood-Sitts, seven truck loads of round bails have been hauled from Chenango County to distribution points in Texas. Three truck loads were delivered prior to the storms, and after a short hiatus from Sept. 2 until last week, four more have left.
