After several Joe Biden yard signs went missing near his family farm, Dicken Crane decided to do one better.
On the sprawling property in the Berkshires, Crane and his employees used more than a dozen bales of hay to erect a giant sign last Thursday in support of the Democratic presidential candidate. Wrapping the bundles in white plastic and stacking them 15 feet high, he wanted to ensure the endorsement stood out to the cars passing by on Route 9.
All seemed well when he checked up on the display the next day as he ran a tractor in a nearby field, he told the Berkshire Eagle. But when I turned around again, it was ablaze.

The fire remained a mystery, rattling the staff at Holiday Brook Farm as well as the close-knit town of Dalton, Mass., until police announced Sunday that they had arrested Lonnie Durfee, 49, and charged the local resident with burning personal property.

It doesn't make Trump supporters look like the adults in the room. Although, anyone paying attention never would think Trump or his supporters are EVER the adults in the room.

(65,168 posts)I'd think it would since it was destroyed by an arsonist.
But, I don't know how farm policies read. I know if someone burned my hedges because they set fire to a sign, my homeowners policy would cover replacing the bushes. Farm policies might be really different.
I hope not.
I'd sue the guy in civil court to get recompense, and then some. Proving willful destruction can't be that hard in this case.
