Hired his beans combined and augered them into a new double garage. My son was a mere infant at that time. After he died, we hauled those beans to town and my son was 18 years old. The beans had a few spoiled beans on top but suffered no discount.
I don't know how many times I asked him when he was going to sell those beans. His response was that he could not sell cattle and beans in the same year. He would have to pay taxes and the gubbermint just wasted it.
Uncle lwrence would not buy land at inflated prices. He was waiting for land to get cheaper and he would buy.
When he died he had his land was appraised at $2700 per acre and one of my landlords offered $2000 and the estate would ot accept it. Two years later the wife and I bought it for $875. I often wondered whether land prices were getting cheap enough for uncle lawrence. I guess he checked out a bit too soon.
