Neighbors Help Harvest Dead Man’s Crop

Neighbors come to the rescue after an award winning farmer in southern Wisconsin dies with his corn crop still in the fields. Farmers Tom Reed, Doug Goodger, Chris Boston, and Harold Hanuska pulled crops after 76-year-old Tom McNally died October 16th. Reed tells the Janesville Gazette it’s “just neighbors helping neighbors.” McNally’s relative Jeff says he appreciated the help, which was needed after 500 acres of corn and soybeans had to be harvested. The Gazette says the century old McNally farm had Rock County’s top dairy herd in 1979, and they received another production award in the late ’80s from the Tri State Breeders Cooperative.
