Vermont farm family’s outdated wood boiler fuels heated legal battle #news #shorts

They should come here and melt my cows and I could go to the quarterly.

As temperatures sunk this season, Dennis Morin sparked up his wood boiler. It wasn't supposed to last into this winter.

They wanted it gone a long time ago.

11 years ago, the state told Morin and his wife Anita their outdoor hydronic heater, or OHH, was uncertified and outdated. Today, it's still burning. The Agency of Natural Resources offered to cover half of the $20,000 price tag for a Phase 2 OHH, but the couple declined all offers. Morin says he needs concrete proof that a new heating system, like an updated OHH, could heat his barn of cows using the donated pine scraps he burns now.

You have to show me that it could burn the wood that I got. Because I don't want to take this one out and then I'm stuck with no heat. The Morins owe

the A&R thousands in fines and only made it to one of many court hearings. Morin says he can't leave the farm during milking hours. They should come Morin says he can't leave the farm during milking hours. They should come

here and milk my cows and I could go to the court.
