A harvest bee was held in northwest Iowa on Wednesday.  Farmers from across the neighborhood came to assist with the harvest after a family member died this past summer.  The harvest bee was held in western Plymouth County.  Amanda Brietbart says several neighbors helped organize the harvest bee following the death of her father-in-law.  She recites the numbers involved with the harvest bee.  Brietbart tells of the tragic events involving her father-in-law from this past summer that led to the harvest bee.  Brietbart tried to hold back her emotions when she was asked about what it means to have all the neighbors and friends turn out to assist with the harvest.  Brietbart thought the gathering will complete the 750-acre harvest within one day’s work.
