Lowell achieved great success in the Agricultural Realm. He rose from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of farming. But to me, I remember his humble heart & unassuming life. A life reflected in a poem written by Bobby Collier. I'm Just a Farmer, Plain and Simple I'm just a farmer, plain & simple. Not of royal birth But rather, a worker of the earth. I know not of riches. But rather of patches on my britches. I know of draught and rain, of pleasure and pain. I know of the good and the bad, The happy and the sad. I am a man of emotions. A man who loves this land, And the beauty of it's sand. I know of a spring's fresh flow And Autumn's golden glow. Of a newborn calf's hesitation, And an eagles destination. I know of tall pines, And long, waiting lines. Of the warmth of campfires, And the agony of flat tires. But I am a man who loves his job And the life I live. I am a man who works for God. I cannot succeed without his help, for you see, I'm just a farmer, Plain & Simple. My deepest sympathy to Merilyn, Connie & their families, With Love, Eunice Riemer
