LAMONT, Wash. — Members of the small southeastern Washington community of Lamont have banded together to help a neighbor manage his fields.
The Spokesman-Review reports that Steve Swannack landed in the hospital with pancreatitis two months ago. On Saturday his neighbors and friends harvested all 1,000 acres of his fields.
More than a dozen combines worked the fields near the Swannack home, dropping loads of wheat, oats and mustard at the Lamont Grain Growers elevators.
Swannack’s daughter, Stephanie Swannack, says she is touched and grateful for all the support from the community.
Lamont is a small town in Whitman County.
