04 Aug Emma: Mini Vacation and Crop Update from OK to SD
We barely know what a vacation is, but because we had a break between jobs after finishing up in Texas, and waiting on South Dakota wheat we enjoyed a mini vacation. My cousin Travis is in the NAVY and currently stationed in Corpus Christi, Texas. After...
