"There is nothing left. A life's work of many years, generations of farmers who worked the land, and grew together with the produce into an ideological enterprise of agriculture and love of the land - everything went down the drain. The Dor family took care of insurance with the maximum coverage. However, the produce is not insured, time, the temporary solutions Until the packing house is rebuilt - all of these are not covered. The costs are very high. The produce is waiting in the fields to be picked. In order to handle it and market it - temporary cooling containers, temporary buildings for the packers, buying a lot of new packaging equipment (packing machines, picking and packing equipment) are required , office equipment; H.C.), field training and more," they said further.
The residents started a crowdfunding campaign to raise two million shekels to help the economy get back on its feet.

Shaked added: "We need to enact minimum sentences in the next Knesset so that terrorists will be deterred. Our farmers cling to the land, it's hard for them anyway and we need to do everything possible to make it easier for them. They are subject to agricultural crime, protection offenses, problems of theft, cutting fences, destroying crops and that We need to put an end to it. In addition, the presence of the MGB should be increased to deal with agricultural crime, it is a matter of human rights and it is necessary. Also, the Ministry of Agriculture can give a packing house grant to the Dor farm - this can help them get a temporary packing house on their feet.
