Hall reported that when he arrived at the farm early Saturday morning, he noticed that three John Deere tractors had been damaged. One of the tractors is a model 9650 combine with an estimated value of $200,000. The damage to the three tractors is estimated to be $335,000. It is so significant, Hall said, that repairs will likely be impossible. Hall also reported that five tractor trailer-type trucks had been damaged by the tractors. Four had been struck on the front bumpers. One, a 1982 Mack truck, had also been “t-boned” by one of the tractors after being driven into a metal shed. It suffered a bent frame, among other damages, and was reported as a total loss. In addition to the damage sustained to the tractors and trucks, several buildings were also damaged. A wooden horse barn appeared to have been struck at least twice on the front side by the combine, causing an estimated $40,000 in damage. A concrete-block house was also damaged by a tractor, after being driven through three walls, causing several thousand dollars in damage. In addition, a wooden pole and a metal roof shed were destroyed after the Mack truck was driven into them. The back side of a large tractor shed was also damaged. It appeared that one of the pieces of equipment had been driven through two of the wooden support beams and a portion of the roof. The police think that the crimes were committed by at least two individuals between midnight on Friday evening and daylight Saturday morning. Nothing was stolen. Damages, however, could be as high as $500,000. Officials do not think that revenge motivated the vandals. “We just think it was somebody’s sick idea of fun,” Garrett said. “There was nothing to gain — nothing. It was senseless. And this equipment is not cheap.” An investigation has been launched. Anyone with information or tips is being asked to call the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Department. “These individuals are going to be found and prosecuted — there’s no question about it,” he added. “Somebody’s going to answer for it.” Contact Staff Writer Annabelle Robertson at arobertson@theitem.com or (803) 774-1250. ate Published: June 2, 2009 Farm recovering from vandalism Photos by Chris Moore / The Item Jackson Farms owner Scott Jackson Sr., right, said someone destroyed more than $500,000 worth of farm equipment early Saturday. By JASON WERMERS Item Staff Writer jwermers@theitem.com MANNING — Work at Scott Jackson Farms resumed Monday morning, but it was far from a normal day there. That is because vandals rammed tractors into buildings and the cab of an 18-wheeler truck into a shed and left a combine still running after ramming it into an empty horse barn. All told, more than $500,000 worth of equipment and buildings was either damaged or destroyed. Scott Jackson Sr., who owns 2,000 acres and rents another 2,000, said the horse barn, a small unoccupied house and the shed had been built in the early 1980s. All of them survived powerful Hurricane Hugo in 1989, but they proved to be no match for whoever ran roughshod over the property on Paxville Highway (S.C. 261), about halfway between Paxville and Manning, while it was still dark Saturday morning. "What Hugo couldn't do," Jackson said, "they could." Jackson, 76, added that in his 55 years of farming, "I have never seen anything like this. I just can't believe this kind of thing can happen." He added that he had insurance on the equipment, but it still won't cover much of the cost. "You can't take out enough insurance to replace all this," he said, pointing out that the John Deere 9650 combine and header that ran into the barn is worth about $200,000. "We have it insured for a third or half the amount." Some of the equipment was so heavily damaged, it could be beyond repair. The combine is a prime example of that. It was driven so fast that it smashed well into the large barn. The impact also smashed the windshield, and the combine's engine was still running when farm workers arrived about 8 a.m. Saturday. "I want to know how the guy got out of the combine without getting hurt," Jackson said, theorizing that the perpetrator must have jumped out while it was still moving toward the barn. That would not be an easy feat because the combine itself is about 15 feet tall and 30 feet long, and the cab is at least 10 feet off the ground. The 18-wheeler truck cab destroyed the shed and the small, unoccupied house, and is thought to have been driven into the supports of a truck shed. One of those supports was snapped a few feet off the ground but was still holding up its part of the truck shed, while the support across from it was sheared off. Danny Hall, Jackson's son-in-law, was one of the first to see the damage that had taken place sometime between 5 p.m. Friday and 8 a.m. Saturday. "I saw tractors had been run into 18-wheelers," said Hall, 53. "The combine was in the barn, and it was still running. I cut the combine off." Hall, who has helped Jackson run the farm for more than 25 years, said that the phone call he received warning him of the damage didn't prepare him for how extensive it was. "Everything we had was destroyed," he said. "They took the tractors and ran them into the belts. ... I called up Scott, and his wife answered and said he was sleeping. I told her I need to speak with him, the farm is damaged." While Jackson still shakes his head over why this happened, he said his faith keeps him going. "We've always been close to the Lord. We depend on him to give us a lot of help. If it don't rain, we don't get nothing. So why not give it all up to him?" he said. Despite all the damage, work did continue at the farm Monday. Workers were hoping to start harvesting wheat by the afternoon. "We felt like it was worse than it really was," Hall said. "We were so overwhelmed Saturday morning, we didn't know what to do. But when we came in today, we saw that we've still got some stuff we can save." If Jackson could confront whoever is responsible, he said, "The main thing I'd ask them would be, 'Why do you want to do this? Have I done anything to you to warrant you to do this tragedy?' I'd just like to know why. ... I don't have any enemies that I know of."

By R. DARREN PRICE dprice@theitem.com MANNING - When Scott Jackson Sr. was in college in the early 1950s, he would drive his Ford Model A from Clemson to Columbia to see his high school sweetheart. But there was a dangerous catch. "He would drive by moonlight," said his sweetheart, Rosanne. "His battery would get low, so he had to cut off his lights until he got into town." After about a year and half of moonlight drives, Jackson proposed to Rosanne, and the two were married in 1952. Then came 59 years of what Rosanne called a "normal, happy life." Scott Jackson Sr., 78, of Manning, died in his home Sunday after a three-year battle with pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer. His funeral was Tuesday at Stephens Funeral Home in Manning. Born on Aug. 22, 1932, Jackson was a three-sport star at Manning High School and received a football scholarship at Clemson University, where he excelled in football. He gained All-ACC honors and was both the team's captain and most valuable player his senior year. Jackson was inducted into Clarendon County's Athletic Hall of Fame's inaugural class earlier this year, as well. Childhood friend Zeb Andrews said Jackson will be remembered for his accomplishments on and off the field. "He was a likeable guy," he said. "And a good, local athlete." Jackson was also an adept farmer. Andrews said the two grew up on a farm together, and it contributed to his choice of profession. Jackson ran Scott Jackson Farms and planted some 5,000 acres of crops in Clarendon County and was an active farmer until 2010. His wife said farming was his devotion. "He took a lot of pride in his farming," she said. "That was his work, his love and his hobby." Andrews said Jackson was always a generous, nice person. He said when he wasn't working on his farm or running his fertilizer business on Memorial Street in Manning, he was visiting people, bringing by fresh produce. "He would come by from time to time," Andrews said. "He always had something he was growing." Rosanne said she will remember her late husband for his achievements on the field and on the farm, but also for his stories. He could make anything - even a drive from Clemson to Charleston in the dark - a story, she said. "That was one of his favorite stories," she said. "He's the storyteller, not me."
