Just as the seasons inevitably turn, so does the farming landscape within a tight-knit rural community. That reality hit close to home for me last Thursday with the passing of my uncle, Gary Nichols. He and my father farmed together for decades, and like most farming families, Uncle Gary was a solid fixture in my life, not to mention a pillar of the farming community. For the past several years, he was the elder statesman of Rural Route 3, the wily veteran who had seen it all and done it all. That included becoming, along with my father, the first back-to-back corn yield champions of Knox County, Illinois.
