The Farm Auction
Over the weekend I helped my in-laws at the auction of Floyd Nelson near Finlayson, Minnesota. Floyd had passed away in June of 2007. His loving wife, Carol, had passed three years earlier. Floyd was my wife’s uncle. He was a good man, husband, farmer and school bus driver. He and Carol had no children, hence, they had no one to take over the farm so it was put up for auction. It was sad to see a lifetime of labor, possessions and memories disappear at the strike of an auctioneer’s gavel. The song, “Ashokan Farewell” written and performed by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason.

yes very sad. this sort of event is also taken place only to often here in wales uk. not the fact that they dont have children but the fact that there children have gone to big money jobs in the big cities and refuse to return to the land were the money is tight but the lifestyle is rewardind when you deliver livestock to the world there is no feeling like it belive me.i hope this land is being farmed again with the sound of children playing in the backround without farmers theres no future.fact
