Neighbors Rally to Harvest for Seibert Family Help
Finney County neighbors led by Tom Klassen gathered nearly 30 volunteers with combines and grain carts to harvest the Seiberts wheat.

Klassen, a cousin, said the farming community step in when neighbors needed aid, a pattern after his wife Carolyn’s death.
