After the August derecho decimated<br />
their Mechanicsville farming<br />
operation, the Crock family, along<br />
with some help from friends and<br />
relatives, hunkered down and worked<br />
hard to come back from great losses<br />

Monday, Aug. 10, began just like<br />
any other Monday – a typical<br />
work day for Lee Crock and<br />
his family as they tended to<br />
livestock on their nearly 2,000-<br />
acre diversified farm operation in Mechanicsville,<br />
nestled in the southwest corner of Jones<br />
County.<br />
Chores completed, they dispersed to take care<br />
of other business.<br />
