‘You wrecked my fence’: Quarry refuses to compensate farmer $60,000 for his fence, end up paying one million dollars in damages
Farm work is not easy, although you'll often see farming painted idyllically as a laid-back lifestyle that everyone should aspire to. People from the city will generally gabber about wanting to move to the country, 'live off the land', underestimating the amount of work that is put into it. Growing crops and taking care of animals can be extremely challenging.
As shared by OP, his brother-in-law (Let's call him Bob) was growing avocados on his ranch, when a portion of it was destroyed by a wildfire… or at least, that is what he first believed, until it became apparent that it was due to an electrical line that was blown over by tough winds. The line landed on his fence, causing a fire, and a lot of damage in the process…
'Bob' decided to replace his fence and replant, but the quarry who owned the power lines refused to settle privately for the amount of 60k, instead dragging Bob to court, under the assumption they would win. Well, that did not go exactly to plan… Scroll down to read what happened next, and then here is another story about a student who maliciously complied with one of her teachers on an assignment.
