    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.

    I hope those of us that watched this, or have helped in a similar situation will remember that this is who we really are. 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.

    Thanks for showing this great man, have been missing dad, grandpa, uncles. One of my uncle's was given 6 months to live in 1999. He is still here. He has a big bandage on his head, I said so now they are going in from the top for an ingrown toenail. Mom was horrified, he laughed. Mom said well I guess it's good you guys can laugh about it. Cancer seems to get lots of people in our family.

    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.
