I hope you’ve got all your Farm Progress Show preparations made. I’m still getting my stuff together. It looks like great weather this week according to the Weather Channel. Highs in the upper 70’s, lows in the upper 50’s to lower 60’s. That’s a big difference from last year. I think Laura and I will get in around 3pm tomorrow …
