Jack, how do you do it? Another heartbreaking story that tells the facts behind a familiar photo, thank you.

Hi Jack. I actually remember this picture and how sad it seemed for some people and how hard they worked in farming and didn't get any thanks for it. It's still that way unless you have big bucks. I have family in farming and they work so hard just to stay above ground, but love it anyway and I'm proud of them and always there to give a helping hand when needed. A good story as always from you that I do enjoy

Thank you for keeping the slate accurate and clean.
