Help Marinković family rebuild their cow farm after the fire

Seven-member Marinković family lives in the small village of Stara Plošćica near Bjelovar. They take care of 20 dairy cows, bulls, pigs, chickens on their family farm and cultivate around 50 hectares of land on which they grow various crops for cattle.

Last Friday (September 17, 2021) they were drying 10 tons of sunflower seeds for their cows in a tumble dryer when the tragedy happened. The drying machine caught fire due to a malfunction and caused a large fire in which, despite the great efforts of the family to save them, 6 heifers, 5 bulls and 9 pigs lost their lives in the fire. The entire barn, dryer and several tractor attachments also burned down.

However, the Marinković’s do not despair and believe that they will rebuild the farm because farming is their life and they take care of all the animals with great love. Let's help their cow farm survive, let's not allow Croatia to lose another piece of the village!

Pomozite Marinkovićima da obnove svoju farmu krava nakon požara

U malenom selu Stara Plošćica pokraj Bjelovara živi sedmeročlana obitelj Marinković koja se bavi poljoprivredom. Na svom OPG-u brinu o 20 muznih krava, bikovima, svinjama, kokošima te obrađuju 50 hektara zemlje na kojoj uzgajaju raznolike žitarice čime hrane životinje.

Prošli petak (17. rujna 2021.) u stroju za sušenje sušili su 10 tona sjemenki suncokreta za stoku kada se dogodila tragedija. Stroj za sušenje se zbog kvara zapalio i izazvao veliki požar u kojem je, unatoč velikom naporu obitelji da ih spasi, stradalo 6 junica, 5 bikova i 9 svinja. Izgorjela je i cijela staja, sušara te nekoliko priključaka za traktor.

No, Marinkovići ne očajavaju i vjeruju da će farmu obnoviti jer je farma njihov život i s velikom ljubavlju brinu o svojim životinjama. Pomozimo njihovoj farmi krava da opstane, nemojmo dozvoliti da Hrvatska izgubi još jedan komadić sela!
