AFTER WORKING ON MY FATHER’S FARM FOR 22 YEARS, I WATCHED MY BROTHER INHERIT ALL 400 ACRES. I RECEIVED ONE OLD FEED TRUCK.
My older brother, Phil, had spent thirty years selling insurance in Omaha. He barely knew how to operate a tractor.
I had worked beside Dad nearly every day of my adult life.
Yet when the attorney read the will, Phil received the farmhouse, fields, pasture, machinery, and irrigation equipment.
I received a rusty 1994 International feed truck.
My wife begged me to challenge the will.
I refused.
