Another year is in the books and it has been a year I will never forget. From starting strong in Holliday, Texas to a rain day or two in Floydada, Texas to too many rain days in Dumas, Texas. Then we had a very quick...
Fort Benton, Mont.- I have kind of mentioned that we are cutting with another crew since the rest of our machines are in South Dakota. I’m going to take this time to talk a little bit about the Skinner Harvesting crew. Dan and Stephanie Skinner...
