1) The county rebuilt the bridge like I posted. They split the cost four ways. 1/4 The land owner,1/4 the renter (young kid), 1/4 the BTO (his insurance paid his) and 1/4 the county. Total cost was $60,000. Everyone has paid but the renter/kid. He did not have any kind of insurance other than crop insurance.
2) The BTO laid the kid off just as soon as harvest was over. So the kid tried to get back on where he had been working and they told him no way. So he is out of work and can't draw unemployment. I kind of feel sorry for him but he has gotten head strong and will not listen to anyone. So he can lay in the bed he made.
3) The kid/renter missed the 1st. half 2013 rent payment on the ground. So he violated the contract. So he is out.
4) The land owner wanted my sons to rent the ground. I advised them not to do it. I don't want to get in the middle of a land war so to speak. Instead we offered to custom farm it like we used to do for the landowner. He is leaning toward doing it.
The only good thing that came out of this is my youngest son got a job with the company that rebuilt the bridge. He likes the job and is making pretty good money. He already has gotten a raise and the owner has told me he is doing a good job.
This is the last I will post on this subject. This is the post that got me called a lier more than any other because I would not post pictures of what happened. The land owner did not want much publicity of what was going on. So it was kept pretty quite. There was not even anything in the local papers. Keep in mind this was in a Grade "B" farm lane. So it really was not new worthy as a stand alone story. It was the whole back story that made it interesting to those that have much to do with farming.
