    Many years ago, one of the farmers in the area had a heartattack in the spring, and he was a good friend of my Grampa, so we as well as many others got together and worked ground and planted the rest of what he had left to do. That was cool how not only did all those neighboring farmers came together to help this guy, but the elevator shutting down and only taking corn from those guys, and staying open late in the night was amazing to see.

If you watch the news you would think the country was a bunch of heartless criminals. Well we aren't! The majority of people are pretty darn good, it was refreshing to see it. Thanks to all involved.

    We had a neighbor with cancer and wasn’t able to drive his combine. We,his friends, got together and harvested his crops. There was 14 combines,tractors with grain carts,and about 30 trucks. He got better and the next year able to operate his own combine. The year after he got worse and passed away. We came in again and got the crop out for his family. Farmers take care of our own.

    I remember when I was a teenager my uncle took me to a farm auction. Apparently the bank had for closed on this local farmer. Well all the local farmers got together and they had what they called a penny auction. What they did is everything that was auction the farmers bidding on it would bid a penny. Right down to the land and house. Because it was an auction everything sold for the highest bid a penny. At the end of the auction they gave everything back to the farmer. Now I was young and didn't realize what I was watching. Nor could I appreciate what they had did for this farmer. But let's just say this didn't happen to many times before the lenders and auction houses started putting minimum bids or they would just shut the auction down. But that day at least one farmer one against the system. I will never forget it.

    Last year, on the Monday before Thanksgiving, my brother was pinned between two semi trailers in a freak accident, during a weird snow storm. Busted his pelvis all up. Most farmers had finished harvest, but he had a lot left. Several farmers in the La Plata, Missouri area got together and finished his harvest for him. They wanted no recognition, no fanfare. Just wanted to help a neighbor out. Thankfully he made a full recovery.

He is 87 and has farmed most of those years .2020 was the year you could see that he didn't have it in him anymore as much as he wantedto carryon as usual. The last few months because of not being able to take part of the operation of his farm has made his quality of life go down. Its a hard thing to see as his son and knowing soon he will be gone. 😔 🇨🇦
