Hi Everyone! It has been a while since we’ve posted as life has been running at about 100mph in all directions.  We have some more farm equipment to share with you all as well, but we’ll talk about that later.

With that being said, we will offer up perspectives from what we’ve personally witnessed and heard around the state. So, here we go in no specific order.

In the Storms, Farm Equipment Came

By

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain kept coming in waves and lightening bolts lit up the night sky.  An evening of anticipation filled the air. We knew something great was on the way. Anxiously, we waited on the arrival of something special.  We waited for something that would fill our hearts with joy, but confound our neighbors who were oblivious. Anxiously, we waited….

Then in the darkness, we heard [Read more…] about In the Storms, Farm Equipment Came
