Here is an amazing story from North Dakota. Where an entire community of farmers came together to help their own.
From the facebook post.
You reap what you sow! Thats the old saying that can apply to a lot of things in life. Well, today it has a two fold meaning – harvesting crops and helping friends!
Earlier this week local farmer Lane Unhjem had a combine catch fire while he was harvesting South East of Crosby. That alone is a horrible thing for any farmer to experience, but in the commotion fighting the fire, Lane suffered a heart attack and had to be flown to Minot where he is still a patient. Fortunately lane realized something was wrong with his health and had someone rush him to St. Lukes Hospital!
Now that Lanes health is being taken care of, it came time for his friends and neighbors to spring into action, which is common in small town life. Approximately 40 to 50 farmers, driving combines, pulling grain carts, driving semis and various other harvest related items, converged on the Unhjem farmstead and they will take care of harvest for Lane and his family today. I believe there was about a dozen combines involved.
The Unhjems have a beautiful crop that will be safe in the bins today, and more importantly they have the comfort of knowing that they have a community of friends that are helping, praying and doing whatever they can to help them get through this tough time.
What a great sense of pride we can all have knowing that when we face something like this, we’re not alone.
Kudos to all those that helped today.
UPDATE: They finished 1000 acres in just over 7 hours.
