Recently, we got the most amazing note, from a photographer named
Matt Rubel,
with a link to some pictures from an unusual memorial to a young farmer
in Illinois. We asked Matt for the right to publish his photos and for
an explanation of the event, pasted below.
My mother’s family is from a small farming community near
Champaign, Illinois. Though I grew up a Navy kid and lived all over the
world, I always loved coming to the farm. As a child, I was fascinated
by my grandfather’s tractors and farm equipment. If my brother and I
were lucky, we would catch Grandpa early enough during the harvest or
planting season and be allowed to ride in the tractor. They’ve always
been a very tangible symbol of farming to me.
