[@ryanthomas985]

Her parents raised a good kid

[@kimt1054]

"Tractor Princess"....now that's a sweet title. Bless them both!

[@kimberlyyoungblood1428]

I caught that too! I think it's awesome as well

[@philtheheaterguy951]

She should be doing commercials for John Deere

[@markbrown9838]

Neighbor helping neighbor, that's how it should be. We need more people like her here in the US and the rest of the world.

[@lovedfriend2020]

I agree!!!!!!!!!

[@Visitor2Earth]

THIS is what life should be like.... NOT WHAT IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

[@andrewpinson1268]

At 71 this almost brought me to tears. We just nee about 300 million more like her in the US.

[@olgreywolf9688]

She's not my daughter ..... but good lord ... I'd give anything if she was ... my second. She IS A PRICELESS addition to this old world!!! Best wishes and enormous pride in you, dear!!! You're just sooo worthy!!! Bless ...

[@doug2078]

Now there's a Girl with Class ! 👍

[@2olvets443]

That young lady is full of caring love for people, what a breath of fresh air.

[@jenniezimmermann3356]

Watched it the other night! I just admire how she saw a need and stuck with helping.

[@rustyhowe3907]

What a sweetheart of a girl, so proud of her to help such a kindly neighbor.

[@michelekellar7817]

She is a selfless young lady! She should be proud of herself!

[@karlaruter3221]

What a beautiful story! She is the tractor Princess!

[@sandyirizarry3491]

She is a special soul!

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

What a lovely act of kindness!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

She and that tractor are the therapy he needs. Our kids never cease to amaze me sometimes. Right when you least expect it they step in and step up without so much as a second thought. A beautiful young woman and a huge shout out to our farmers who without all their hard work we wouldn’t have the food we enjoy on our tables. God bless each and every one of you!!

[@todydn]

Dude your not lying my daughter of 6 tends to be pretty self centered but if she has money and sees a homeless person and shes good at picking out the fakes she will litterally scrounge the whole house for change to buy them food and stuff she started a kindness club at school and even though she has her attitude about her shes dads painkiller i have nerve issues as well and when she knows im hurting her inner thoughts all direct towards love and she will just come lay her head down on me till we are napping or i feel well enough to get up stuff like that lets ya know your doing right as a parent wich is important when in this world its hard to even want to have a child knowing how difficult its gonna ve in the years to come for your kid

[@rivkaclifford427]

What a great teen.

[@deidracalvert2738]

Bless you Abby for your loving nature that took you to your neighbor’s farm , sitting next to him on his tractor enabling him to harvest his crops. He had health issues preventing him from working alone. God bless you.❤❤

[@joemarlett8590]

All American Young Lady. You are such a inspiration to us all. Thank You.

[@eligebrown8998]

Im 49 and i have younger cousins who are barely in their 20s and they could definitly learn a lot from this young lady.

[@sescuba6405]

A great young woman!

[@leepagnini6273]

GREAT story!!! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. The Senior Portrait sent me off the edge. ...........................thank you

[@thewealthyaunt]

Lovely young woman. God Bless 🙏🏾

[@GoodWillPrevail]

This is such a beautiful act of self sacrifice and love.

[@MegaDeansy]

[@nitramsonjack4741]

What a beautiful girl!! A true inspiration to all!!

[@davidrobins4025]

This remarkable young woman reminds me of my farm neighbours daughter who could do all the farm chores when she was 12 years old. She did all the hay raking on her dad's farm - better than most. Congratulations to Abi for her work helping a neighbour in need - a TRUE farming heart.

[@Jordan-ut8wx]

I was raised by my grandpa on his farm ( rest his soul) and now run it in while he’s up there smiling down first thing I ever did was barn chores then once I could start and run the machines I got tasked with doing field work

[@joel6221]

What a beautiful soul.

[@mihkhailgaudette4370]

A very special young lady! She has brought him back into a whole new life. Nice that he took the time off to be there for her confirmation too!

[@Bellz972]

I needed this good news 📰 God bless them both ❤

[@JoseMVelazquez]

These are the kind of values new generations need to learn. We see all the time young people being entitled, selfish and disruptive but is people like Abi who give hope, just a teenager and already a role model.

[@kimwilliams959]

What a amazing young lady for sure nice that his gained a new granddaughter and vice versa

[@howardthrongard640]

Watching here in the Philippines - I grew up in a small town in Minnesnowta - worked on farms there when I was a youngster.

[@richardhemenway7528]

Yes she is an amazing young woman. God Bless you both.

[@murraystewartj]

To any of my fellow old farts who moan about "the kids of today", the Tractor Princess would like a word with you. I'm sometimes saddened by the world we've left for our children and grandchildren, but young people like Abi give me faith that all is not lost and that compassion and hard work are still there.

[@shawnablake5102]

Way to go Abbie!!!

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

Good Midwestern manners right there! We need to treasure our farmers... we'd be pretty screwed without them! Be kind to our elders as well. They have great stories to tell.

[@aprilsmith3683]

"Tractor Princess"... Oh my... Perfect... 🇿🇦

[@tomburbridge1114]

[@philtheheaterguy951]

This is the type of kid who deserves a full College Scholarship!
