Farmers in Columbiana County are working to power through and change perceptions months after the East Palestine train derailment.
COLUMBIANA, Ohio — The early days following the East Palestine train derailment and fire were not kind to Lamppost Farm in Columbiana.
His farm of cows, pigs, turkeys and chickens sits 8 miles northwest of the crash site and upstream, so away from the smoke and the runoff. He got calls asking whether their food products were safe to eat, and if their farm was safe to visit. Conkle said they are working “to give these farmers in our county some credible defense so they can say, 'yes, our products are still safe and here’s the proof of that,'” he said.“This is the kind of community that’s so often forgotten or exploited by corporate America. I’m here for the long haul.
