With Sandy and Jane on the tractor seat,
The engine hums a steady beat.
Tom and Mark, John and Dave,
Gather hay, the harvest we crave.

Lisa and Bob stack high with care,
The barn grows full, the lofts we share.
In the summer’s fading, golden light,
Together we work, till day turns to night.

(ChatGPT, 2024)

Many hands make light work…Tom & Jane Fidler; John, Sandy and Dave Wagner; Mark Vitali; and Bob and Lisa…average age of field hands…62…way to go!!!
