So, what DO farmers do in the winter??

…a perfectly legitimate question…

After all, the fields are covered in snow now, and that’s where we spend the majority of our time in the summer, right?

  • and a line-up of late season storage customers – ready to park their vehicles in our buildings for the winter.

 

No…there really is NEVER a dull moment!

BUT, as “they” say….
“A change is as good as a rest.”
