Jeremy Roberts, owner of Southland Equipment, was seriously injured in a hay spear accident earlier this week. While delivering equipment, the hay spear fell, pinning Roberts and penetrating his abdomen. He underwent surgery at Johnson City Medical Center and is reported to be recovering. A fundraiser is planned for September 29 at the Funny Farm in Chuckey to help cover his medical expenses. For more details or to participate, contact Tammy Knapp Stanton at 329-3632.
