How Nebraska Ranchers Helped the Amish After A Major Wildfire

By Erik Wesner March 30, 2026, From News Channel Nebraska:

Following the wildfire which hit the Amish in the “middle of nowhere”, a non-Amish father and son found they could relate to the community’s loss.

And that motivated them to donate their time, energy and resources to helping out one particularly hard-hit Amish family in Cherry County, Nebraska.

Kilgore, Neb. - Wildfires across Nebraska's Sandhills are leaving many ranchers scrambling to find ways to feed their cattle. At the same time, support is coming from those who understand the loss firsthand.

Rick and Triston Stewart of Chadron are among those stepping in to help. The father and son recently delivered two loads — about 60 bales of hay — to an Amish family south of Kilgore whose home and feed supply were devastated by the Anderson Bridge Fire.
