“Talkative” Todd, the custom cutter guy from up north of the border, says he’s ready to move south. Todd said that there is no rush to get there, other than to take a “look-see” at the crops.

What Is Farmacology

Jerry Puffer — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:51:16 +0000

“Farmacology” is NOT the course Conrad area farmer Gary Gollehon majored in back in college!
