Recently I was able to catch up via phone and email with two more of our crew members on their day off. Albert and Pieter G. were both willing to share their stories with you, and I appreciate them taking the time to do so. Both...
Cut Bank, Montana—The crew in Montana finished up wheat harvest last Thursday. Mark reported that yields averaged in the low 60s. They spent Friday cleaning/loading equipment and catching up on laundry. We usually tell the crew that once they hit the northern stops and the paces...
Grafton, North Dakota—“What’s the date today?” This is a common question that for the last couple weeks I have not been able to answer. We have gotten into a routine around home so the day doesn’t really matter; I already know what I am doing...
