  • A feel-good story about a farmer in Nebraska saved from losing his family inheritance by 200 of his peers who went to an auction of his land, only to stand silently while he reclaimed it, has been online since at least 2018. But its origins are murky. The story, which has been regurgitated by numerous websites, goes like this: Despite the fact this story has been circulated widely by people who undoubtedly want to believe it represents the good in humanity, it is too vague to verify. It doesn't contain the purported farmer's full name. And although some versions maintain the event happened in 2011, none gives specific dates or locations. Because the details surrounding this story are vague, we are unable to trace the origins of this story at this time and therefore rate it Unproven, pending further information. (en)
