The weekly auction in still thriving in small central Illinois towns such as Homer, Casey and Fairmount, where people gather to greet friends and discuss grain prices while looking for a deal on farm equipment or a cast-iron skillet. Producer Alison Davis introduces viewers to two veteran auctioneers. Charlie Blagg sells antiques and collectibles in a barn south of Charleston. Raymond Hayes sells everything from cars to humidifiers at his auction in Bement. Each of them has helped keep the action business alive in central Illinois.
