"A miracle of 200 farmers from Nebraska, USA — every single one of them knowing what the right thing to do was."

See? Not EVERYONE sucks! :)

[Sacajaweau]

These farmers must have truly loved his dad.

Brings tears to my eyes.

More of that American white male toxic masculinity? This toxic male needs a tissue, be right back. God bless America!

I’ve seen the same thing here. There are still some good people left.

[Beowulf9]

Really beautiful story.

[jazusamo]

Great statement to put in a tag line. Thanks for posting this “feel good” story.

[rudy45]

Great story, but unclear why it was sold in the first place. The background information would be useful.

[Jamestown1630]

Nice story; but doesn’t explain why the farm was sold to a relative in the first place (?)

[JustAmy]

This is a wonderful story.

Made my day!!

Thank you.

[MayflowerMadam]

Sweet.

Unfortunately that website didn’t get the URL for the original story correct:

Estate taxes are Evil.. They are theft at any amount.

I hope the family isn’t experiencing buyers remorse because they over bid, lol.

(If I had to do it over again I’d make my wealth in land auctions. It’s fun, it’s lucrative.)

Here in Ohio a property can't sell at auction for less than 2/3 of it's appraised value if it's a Sheriff's sale.Too many farmers helped their neighbors during the depression by doing buybacks for a dollar that the banks had to intervene by way of their bought and paid for politicians.The pols feathered their own nests by inventing property tax liens.
