Nick Diemel (35] and his younger brother, Justin Diemel (24), are farmers from Seymour, Wisconsin. They traveled to Missouri to purchase cattle. Missing for 6 days the are now presumed victims of homicide.
The Outagamie County Fair is held in Seymour. Last evening was the livestock auction. 4H youth learn many life lessons by participating in the fair. Multitudes of local businesses, big and small, support kids by purchasing their animals during the auction, which was held last evening.
Pigs historically sell for $3-$7 per pound. One young man put his pig in the auction pledging proceeds from the sale to the Diemel families. The bidding quickly took on an ethereal tone with tens of bidders holding their paddles perpetually in the air, culminating in a final bid of $42 per pound. The auctioneer could scarcely speak the final bid through his sobs.
Rural America at its finest. Proud to be the mother, mother-in-law and Grandma of 4H folks. Proud to be an eyewitness to the life lessons they are learning and participating in. So many unsung heroes in the volunteers who selflessly impact the lives of young people.❤
