## Transcript

Tyler and Brandon Gillen have a lot to think about, their dad, Dave Gillen underwent quadruple bypass surgery on Monday. He recovered real quick last night. He's actually sitting up in a chair this morning. But with six farms and 400 acres to harvest, it's a monumental task. It would take forever, I think, if, if we're just to, to do it as a family, ourselves. That's why this caring community is responding. They're Pioneer seed dealer gathered some 70 people, lots of combines and trucks. It was just unbelievable. It just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. All rolling into action to volunteer.

Farmers taking time out to lend a helping hand. If somebody else is in trouble, he'd be doing the same thing for them. I think Terry's gonna finish that over there. Okay. Dave's brother, Richard Gillen, is busy in one combine. He said, you tell me when and where. They'll harvest in hours what normally takes days to complete. Each row is a real achievement. It's a testament to teamwork. And it's not a huge deal for any of these guys to do this, but it's an awfully big deal when you're the one being helped. It's just a way to pay it forward. Dave Gillen helped many farmers in the past, now it's their turn to help him.

He couldn't believe that everyone could be so kind and that everyone cared so much about him. Care for a friend and his crops.
