Hundreds Of Farmers Stay Silent During Auction So Young Man Can Buy His Family Farm Back
Hundreds of farmers in Nebraska stood in silence during an auction so that a young man could buy back his family’s farm.
Before David was born, his family took care of the same large piece of land for decades. But that all changed when one family member was given eighty areas. The land was broken up.
David had heard the tales of what had been lost to his now-distant relative as he grew older. He was determined to make the family farm whole and win it back again. So when the opportunity arose, he knew he had to seize the moment. He didn’t know exactly how he was going to do it, but he did know that it was up to him to at least try.
When the land went up for sale again through an auction, David and his father decided that they would save up money to buy the land back.
David and his father simply hoped for the best
On the day of the auction, more than 200 farmers were present. David thought there was no way they would have enough money to outbid the other farmers. But you won’t believe what happened next- when he called for a second bid, the room fell silent. No one out of the other 200 farmers made a sound.
This reaction was not at all expected, so much that the auctioneer even asked for a break. Still, no one bid on the farm when they resumed. David and the rest of the family were stunned. They had easily won back their farm! But why and how was it so easy?
The Nebraskan farming community knew of the story and wanted David and his family to reclaim possession of the land. They purposely stood silent when the second bid was called out in order to allow them to win the bid. This incredible story left David and his family filled with gratitude and amazement. Human kindness can go a very long way, as we can see through this story.
