During an auction in Nebraska, numerous farmers gathered and remained quiet as a young man reclaimed his family's farm.
David's family had been farming for many years, but one of their ancestors made the decision to sell the 80-acre farm. This caused sadness for the whole family, but David was determined to reclaim it.
David and his father planned to save money to repurchase the land when it was auctioned off again.
More than 200 farmers attended the auction on that day. David believed they didn't have sufficient funds to surpass the other farmers' bids.
The farmers surprised everyone with their actions.
After David and his dad made their offer, nobody said anything.
Those 200 farmers didn't bid because they hoped the family would regain their land.
The Auctioneer tried multiple times to get another bid, but ended up taking a break. They took three breaks in total, and each time there was complete silence. Finally, the auctioneer had to bang the gavel down and declare David and his father as the winners.
David shared that he experienced two very humbling days. The first was when his son was born, and the second was at the auction house.
