Andy Detwieler (aka "Harmless Farmer") on you tube passed on the 22nd. of cancer, he farmed in spite of having no arms (both), due to an auger accident in his youth. it never put him down, he even drove his semi with his feet. check his vids. you will be missed. gosh...what an inspiration to all!

So sorry to hear that. Whenever I struggled to get through a tough job I thought of Andy and smiled reminding myself how lucky I am. He not only preserved he put his story out there for everyone to see.
RIP Andy

I’ve followed Andy for quite a while, after seeing him farming, changing tires, fixing equipment, my troubles seem so small! Prayers to his family

A guy goes through all of that as a kid and then dies of that stupid cancer. Not really fair in my book.........

Surely admire his ambition, but dang its painful to watch him work - but he got it done, just my opinion

Sorry to hear that.

From my own experience’s I can’t imagine doing what he did. Amazing

His sister sent a message to another u-tuber yesterday that he died of complications from pneumonia.
