Sand Creek farm families rally to help amid illness and harvest rush
Gene Peterson 45 and Midge 44 near Sand Creek farm 308 acres and have long aided neighbors. Last week 17 tractors harvested 42 acres of corn as neighbors spread manure and plant more, while Gene cares for his wife in Eau Claire hospital. The community effort echoes a 27 year cycle of neighborliness and a historic work bee that launched the Peterson farm.
