Tyler Huckabay

Tyler Huckabay knows all too well that life as a farmer is at the mercy of the weather and for this reason, it’s a profession of hope. He and his family are also very aware that it takes a team of people, as well as family and neighbors for farmers to be successful. “Farming revolves around the weather,” said Tyler Huckabay. “Dad has always said the weather can make you look like a fool or a genius. What we do wouldn’t be possible without the great team we have. From our workers who know when it’s go-time, that it’s going to be 15-plus hours a day until it rains, to the people we get seed, chemical, and fertilize from, always being there and having whatever we need delivered to us as soon as we need it. It can be a Saturday evening at 7 and I can call, and they will be there with what I need. Baker Implement always gets to us quickly when we have trouble with a tractor and have some of the best parts guys, salesman, and mechanics in the business and always take care of us. Hill Aviation always gets to our flying needs as soon as we tell them we need something done. And all the other people we do business with go above and beyond to help keep us going.”

THE POWER OF PRAYER

Update on Casey Redmon’s prayer requests: Casey reports that a new chemo regiment with chemo pills two months ago is more tolerable and feels it is better than undergoing radiation. She went for an MRI of her brain on Tuesday of last week and a PET scan. The results were better than expected. She said, “Two spots can no longer be seen, two spots have shrunk at least by half if not more, and no new spots showed up!!” She is still awaiting official results from the PET scan but based off the images they received she hopes the report is good. She still goes for infusions of one medicine every three weeks. Casey wants to thank all prayer warriors who prayed on her behalf, saying, “God is so so good.” She requests a continuation of prayers as she battles breast and brain cancer lesions. Chuck Guthrie had open heart surgery on May 31st. His wife, Sandy reports he is doing well post-surgery. Prayers would be appreciated for healing, a quick recovery and health improvement as he regains strength.
