The fire was at the farm owned by Peter and Donna Green, on Green Road. Pete was not at home when the fire was discovered, but thanks to a State Trooper who was nearby and the driver of a milk truck they helped Donna get the cattle out of the barn. Only one cow was lost. Photographer Brian Staring was on the scene early in the day and then, again, later on when other farmers showed up with trucks and trailers to take the rest of the cows to two local farms where they will be housed for the time being.
Brian wrote on his Facebook page, "Farmers are like one big family when help is seriously needed."

Here's the Weather forecast for the rest of the week from TWCNY:
"Bright and Pleasant! Quiet Through Thursday.
With high pressure in control we have a great mid week forecast on tap. We'll manage to get in on plenty of sun and temperatures will be seasonable with highs in the upper 50s/near 60 degrees.
Dry weather will hang on for Thursday with sun and a few PM clouds. Overall, it's shaping up to be another nice one and a bit warmer with highs in the upper 60s. A weak disturbance is expected to work in by Friday which will return a couple of showers to the forecast but temperatures look to stay on the mild side (highs in the mid 60s).
With a cold front swinging through this weekend, we should see temperatures drop from the mid 60s on Saturday to the upper 50s Sunday."
