In a world full of turmoil and bad things happening, it is wonderful to live in the Humphrey-Lindsay community that cares.
On Aug.15, my husband Bill Babel died in a grain bin accident on the family farm. He was a young 81 years old and loved farming and anything connected to it and was hauling last years corn into town. What really happened that day we don’t know, but the next day already several told me not to worry about harvest, they would take care of it and that they did. Bill’s brothers, Lyle and Jack, took care of lining up the combines, trucks, and grain carts, and scheduling when they would harvest the beans.
The morning of Oct. 2 at 9 a.m., five combines, four semis, and several grain carts started on the bean fields. By 3:30 that afternoon, the beans were harvested and in town. When I was thanking them individually they all said, “We are glad to help, Mary Ann.”
