200 farmers stay silent during auction so man can buy back his beloved family farm 

Tag a farmer in the comments.

Im a farmhand in Central Nebraska and even this suprised me. We definetly take care of each other out here. The barter system still works out here with tools and farm machinery. If a farmer gets sick during harvest its common for neighboring farmers to all pitch in and help pick and store during harvest. Last year a farmer was diagnosed with cancer and he had about a thousand acres of corn and beans to pick. Over 15 other farmers used there own combines and grain carts got together and harvested for him. I was happy to be part of that.

It’s called a rural community where people actually care about their neighbours God bless them all🙏

Farmers are the salt of the earth. Their kindness and generous heart is bar none. Need more people like them.

THESE FARMERS are true American's helping each other with or without reward.

We just need more PEOPLE LIKE THEM IN THIS WORLD

THIS is the AMERICA that I Know and Love.

May their life's be blessed with abundance and joy.

This is the old, true American spirit. Things like this restore my faith in humanity.

this is the part of AMERICA I love people that care about others like this

that's the true america. God Bless AMERICA and it's farmers

This is what doing the right thing looks like! God bless all these farmers! And remember without them we would all starve.

What an incredible story. We are farmers in Zimbabwe, we lost our farm 18 years ago to land acquisition, no compensation, no compassion. Its been a real struggle to keep farming, still can't acquire any land for ourselves. Its hard going. Wish we could adopt that Nebraska heart here.

Farmers backing Farmers. America still has the Golden Rule in Our Spirit.

To all those farmers, this planet needs a lot more HUMANS like you.

God bless all of you for helping him to get his farm back!!!! True American People!!!!

I grew up in rural Iowa in late '70's. This was a very hard time to be a farmer, but there were many stories like this where the community came together and had the back of those around them. I couldn't be prouder to be a midwesterner!

Acts of kindness like this , is what America needs right now..

Amazing! This is the true America and what we should attain to everyday with our neighbors whether farm or city. This is America we can be proud of.....Not rising up against our neighbors, but joining the cause to make a UNITED AMERICA!

Now this is what makes America Great and doesn’t have anything to do with the bull crap coming out of Washington. This is farmers taking care of their fellow farmers and friends and family’s. It’s this kind of stuff that makes us proud to be Americans but mainly just good human beings who get to cherish this good ole EARTH of ours for a briefly short time. So make the best of it for your family and others and enjoy life to the fullest. We need more great stories and great people like these farmers. Thanks for bringing us this video.

This reminded of an auction I went to where no one bid against a mother and daughter who were trying to get furniture for their new house after they lost everything in a fire. It was the most emotional and caring time I have ever experienced at an auction. Because the house and belongings were being sold to pay towards medical needs of the previous owner, people even bid up stuff, bought it and then gave it to the mother and daughter. That way the bidders were helping out the original owner and the new ones. It was so cool to watch this testimony of a community coming together.

Farmers are a great breed of people. They stick together and help each other. God bless our farmers.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

just reading the title, my eyes welted up.thats how we fight this system. loyalty to each other.

It’s about time for people to start acting like I humans. This makes me proud to be an American.

Most definitely a act of humanity and the fact that they all knew how much that farm meant to them !!! What a great story !!

This is what real people and real Americans look like.

David just add 200 family members to his, God bless the American farmers

Awesome! I would that all mankind could be this way. Praise God!!!

I take my hat off to the ‘200’ framers who banded together in total compassion for one of their own . More than brilliant - simply wonderful

That’s how you treat people! Give that man back what’s his.

Prior to his passing my dad, who was a friend of Willie Nelson’s told me that when Mr Nelson had issues with the IRS (in the 1980’s I think) and had to sell his farm, the local population got together and bought the property at auction, then gifted it back to Willie Nelson. Apparently he had for years been a kind and helpful neighbour, spreading his good fortune to the community, when they heard of his problems they clubbed together and showed their appreciation for all he had done for them in the past. Moral of the tale is: there are far more good people in the world than bad, but the bad ones tend to crave the publicity.

These are the Americans I remember when I was a child. Sometimes it feels like the they are all gone. They are not. Makes my eyes sweat.

I was a middle aged widow in Lowes Hardware in a small city of about 270,000 people. The sewage pipe under my house in the dug out basement was clogged. With no money for a plumber I was going to try to root it out myself. My favorite Uncle was a kind farmer. In the aisle there was a man in overalls and a baseball style cap with his wife. He looked like a farmer and I asked if he could help me choose the right equipment for the job. He asked about what I was going to do. He showed me what might work. Then he asked if he and his wife could follow me home so he could do the job for me. They followed me and he did the job. He would not take any kind of payment. Neither of them would give me their address so I could not send them money. They gave a phone number in case I ever needed anything. HE IS A FARMER.....

These were not 200 farmers ... They were 200 MEN who gave true meaning to the word. What an absolutely marvelous community to do this without thought of reward but to do it because it was right.

Country people, we are as strong as our neighbors. The world could learn something from this.

What a wonderful bunch of decent farmers - the true 'milk of human kindness'. God Bless Them indeed!

Old school farmers are badass generous decent people. I worked for one, Stan, when I was a teenager. BEST boss I've ever worked for. You worked like a trojan 12, 14 16 hours...but HE treated you like royalty. Top rate of pay (cash in hand), roast beef dinner in the house, beer tea home baked food brought out to the field every few hours by his kind wife. They were happy happy days. I wish we could live with those values again, this identikit modern digital corporate world is crap

Nice too see there are still good people out there.

Heart felt congratulation to David and his family and my undying admiration to each and everyone of the 200 hundred farmers that showed true solidarity to a fellow human being in their time of need 👏

Praise the Lord! United, we stand, divided we fall. Stand fast in the Lord! Love thy neighbor as you love yourself. God bless the farmers of the world. Amen

So heart warming. There's still humanity in this world.

This is what America used to stand for, each other and not their Government.

So proud what the two hundred farmers did to help a family buy back their farm. Amazing farmers (Men)!!!!!!

That's what you call a community. A beautiful sight to see !

There are still a lot of kind, loving people in this world!

This is what a loving AMERICAN community does for one of their loved members.

This is just like the penny auctions from the dirty 30s when farmers would do the exact same thing to help neighbors buy their homes and farms back

WAY TO GO GUYS. THEY ALL KNEW HOW IMPORTANT THIS WAS FOR DAVID AND HIS DAD. THEY WOULD ALL STICK TOGETHER NO MATTER WHO'S FARM IT WAS. FARMERS ARE THE BEST PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET. ESPECIALLY TO EACH OTHER.

As an Englishman may I say that this story represents all I have have always thought about America and Americans. God bless you all.

This is why it’s important to be kind to everyone if this man wasn’t liked I doubt he would of got it back. God bless this family they must be very loved.

Now this is an EPIC FEEL GOOD STORY! CONGRATS to David and his family and true love and admiration to Nebraskan farmers!💓💓💓

This is what America stands for. Heartwarming evidence our hearts are good.

What a wonderful act of kindness, great to see Humanity hasn’t completely lost heart. These farmers probably thought how it could’ve been them, then wondering what they’d be able to do to help David regain his farm, they kept silent. God Bless these wonderful farmers!!!

Brought tears to my eyes. Tears of hope and joy that indeed goodness is still breathing !

There more of “us” than “them”! Remember that!

Huge respect from me in England, this is the great side of America that needs showing 🇺🇸

As someone who lives rural and absolutely understand how important farms are to families that have worked the land for years immemorial, this was amazing. God bless all those farmers that stood silent at the auction.

This is the America 🇺🇸 I love 💘

this was common practice back during the depression era. Farmers could often buy back their repossessed land for pocket change. because no one else would say a word at the auction.

That’s farmers standing together. How perfect

That's what you call togetherness I wish more people acted that way

THANK YOU LORD FOR GIVING BACK THERE LAND GOD BLESS YOU ALL KEEP GOING BYE

Makes you want to cry that humans still remember how to be humane.

This says a lot about people helping each other, that's our calling

Thanks for sharing, that's what real Americans do, God bless them and farmers

IF that story didn't bring a tear to your eyes, then nothing will Hats off to the 200 farmers

When a bank try to sell a farm here in Ireland nobody bid against its owners.

This is why I love small communities. Everyone is like family.

This happened to me about 40 yr ago at a auction for my grandmother. A antique buffet that had been appraised for 2000 was up I had no intention of buy it .The bidding started at 650 so I bid first .The auctioneer said we have a 650 bid from a grandson there wasnt another bid after that. And yes I still have it.

This is one of the best stories I've heard in years. That is a GREAT community.

It's great to see the rural communities pull together... Here in Australia, at the peak of a very long drought, farmers who were in areas of the country that were not as badly affected by the drought as some, opened their hearts and farm gates to allow many thousands of tons of hay to be taken free of charge and delivered to the farmers that needed it the most for their livestock... most often from many hundreds or even thousands of kms away and no other connection between the parties except that they were fellow farmers. Some of the biggest names in our music industry held free concerts and all the proceeds were donated to struggling farmers. Farmers and rural families are the heart and soul of the country.... They put their hearts and souls into their farms...They deserve our recognition and respect.

Thats what America needs to be . Helping one another 🙏

This shows how we should treat our neighbors, and how we can stand together.

American farmers : feed us, help us when in need..... they are truly blessed with the spirt! God bless them all; in Jesus’s name I pray,amen

That is such a touching story, that is a really farmership and friendship

They were kind and God will help them... Thank you God for you kindness.. AMEN 🙏

I’ve been to a few of these farm auctions years ago when they had a big crisis and farmers were loosing everything. His neighbors which my families farm was close to them my dad and other farmers bought all their equipment and land and then sold it back to them for let’s say cheap 10 cents for a $80,000 dollar tractor, 2 cents an acre.

Glory be to God, He will bless those wonderful farmers.

This was a protest I could get behind. All of the rioters need to watch the example set by these country people.

What a heartwarming story! Real neighbors, real friends.

When my cousin and I decided to sell the old family homestead--Dawes Allotment land owned by our Grandad--the man and his family who wanted to purchase it were people we didn't know, but who owned the section across the road from our land. In Oklahoma, the sale of land is separate from the sale of mineral rights. The man was scared to death because the price of the land was high, set by previous negotiation between our Department of Interior-appointed attorney and his attorney. The young man would never been able to pay for the land if he didn't also own the mineral rights. Several parties showed up to bid on the mineral rights. When they saw the young man, his wife, and children looking on and the fear on his face, one man bid $25. The mineral rights could have gone for tens of thousands of dollars. The bid was low enough so the judge could reject it. and the young farmer got the mineral rights for a dollar. Good ole Okies. God bless them.

This story brought tears to my eyes. It restores my faith in REAL people.

Awesome group of farmer’s showing their support for each other and correcting a wrong that had occurred.

I worked a farmer a market in Michigan for 15 years and am not surprised at all by this act of kindness and solidarity. Farmers are the best people on earth. Blessings

That’s the way it should be. People looking out for each other. Makes me smile.

Praise be to God. Such good hearted people,taking care of their own.

Countless people perform incredible acts of kindness on a daily basis. Unfortunately, ...well, you know the rest.

We definitely need more good deeds like this in today's messed up world.

This video is the only video that brought tears to me. I lost my family farm basically the same way. But the 100 people showed no mercy and I watched the farm I was raised on, got married in the farm house and eventually lived in the farm house with my wife, all disappeared right in front of me. Thank God this young man was saved from the horror I suffered.

It's called being a good person, friend, and human that puts others before profits.

May all the farmers who stood silent be blessed for years to come!

This is the kind of human beings this planet needs. The human race needs more of this behavior. A guy gets knocked down so the entire community rises to lift him back to his feet. Beautiful.

The rural communities have some of the most kindest ppl in the world.

This is what happens when a community comes together to help each other. God bless this family and their friends and neighbours.

This is very heart warming. 200 individual "thank you"'s to the farmers standing for the right.

this is a good example of humanity and unity. All the respect for these people

Good to see these farmers stick together. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.

Love covers over a multitude of sins. Those farmers have a place in Paradise. Praise Jesus and Mary always!!!

Obviously they were having financial hardships when they lost their farm. It's a blessing things played out this way. Not only the awesome solidarity that was displayed but, the absence of the previous debt that was owed. Whatever they paid for the land, was the price paid and that was it. Taxes on agricultural land aren't that much so, they should be able to keep up with it easy now. What a wonderful story.

Most Americans are righteous and moral people, especially rural people.
