Damage is estimate at around one-hundred-thousand dollars for a Janesville farmer who lost a combine Wednesday.  Janesville firefighters responded to a field in the 2600 block of South Oakhill Avenue about 2:30 in the afternoon.  Firefighters dumped 1500 gallons of water on the combine to put it out.  Investigators say it appears the fire is a result of radiant heat from the machinery igniting the corn husks.  No one was reported hurt.
