The farmers of Bement, Ill., gathered to do something very special for a young farmer who died of colon cancer.
Photographer Matthew Rubel recently traveled to Illinois to shoot engagement photos for his cousin. They were planning on taking half of them on the farm.
When Rubel got out to his uncle's farm in Monticello he discovered nearly 40 tractors and other piece of farm equipment assembled in straight lines going down the field.
Rubel learned it was the lined up tractors were brought there by Jake Moore, who was putting the whole thing together as a tribute for his best friend and fellow farmer Kyle Hendrix.
Kyle was only 31-years-old when he passed away from colon cancer. He left behind a wife and two young children.
