pipedreams Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 THESE FARMERS are true American's helping each other with or without reward. "This is a story that makes us believe in humanity. If it weren’t for the kindness of these farmers, a young man wouldn’t have been able to win back his family farm. This is a story which took place in Nebraska, and features a family that has lost their farm several years ago. It was not their fault, which is why all the farmers present at the auction, let them win that land back. All the farmers decided to remain silent, so that the auctioneer would have to give this family the farm they came to bid on." https://dailynewz365.com/200-nebraska-farmers-remain-silent-during-auction-so-a-young-man-can-buy-back-his-family-farm/ That's what living in a community truly means 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type thing is not that uncommon in rural farm country. My wife has a friend since high school that was married to a farmer, that with their two sons farmed a considerable amount of land. He died and they didn't loose the farm but when it came time for the crops to be brought in all the surrounding farms brought in their combines and equipment and did the entire harvest for them. All that expensive equipment and cost of operating isn't cheap. At the time of the funeral there was several hundred people there and a neighboring church set up a building with complete sit down meal for everyone at no cost and put everything away afterwards. Good things do happen but not often enough so I understand you skepticism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original link reminds me of the guy at an auction who outbid a kid to get the patrol car the kid's dad had driven. The dad had been killed in the line of duty. The winner then tossed the keys to the kid. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
