Ode to the forgotten farmer

The end of an era
The taking of time
From seed to hero
The land dust brown 
?????
A child was born
In a country town
50 years of corn 
Our Farmer Brown
?????
Each day on the land 
In the hot sun working
In the dust and the sand 
Planting and growing
?????
This is the story
Of a devoted farmer 
Who died without glory
On the land no greener 
?????
When his son Tom reads the eulogy
In the dust of the weather
We shall understand life's ecology 
For Farmer Brown, a life to treasure
