I know that I've written a lot about the ag community that I grew up in over the years. Whether it be funerals or house fires or grass fires or sheep sales, ag people pull together to help each other. I was reminded this week that the ag community isn't dependent on geography. It's the same in New Mexico as it is in Illinois or in Tennessee or in California. Here's an article about a community pulling together to honor a young farmer who died of cancer, leaving behind a wife and two little kids. A beautiful tribute.
Ag people are ag people, wherever they may be. And if you ask me, they're the best people.

Amen!
I happen to think we're the best people too :) It's amazing how they can all pull together when someone needs it. The smallest of communities can do GREAT things for people...for example: A little 8 year old girl here was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. Her little town of about 1,200 people raised about $120,000 in an auction to help pay for her treatment. I mean, isn't that amazing?!
