The ag community rallies around an injured Western Illinois farmer. Steve Getz of Biggsville was seriously hurt last summer and was out of commission for harvest. But a number of parties stepped up to help out including Les Allen at Midwest Bank of Western Illinois.

Also assisting in the effort was Jim Purlee with Big River Resources.

Getz was very appreciative of the help and someday looks to return the favor.
