It all began on Friday. I was pulling a tandem wheel trailer with a light mist occasionally messing up the windshield. I was planning on making two trips to get 16 large straw bales from Augusta, Kansas. I would pick up eight bales, drive home, unload the eight bales, go back and get another load, and return home by evening. My wife and I grow fruit and vegetables and raise free-range chickens at Mine Creek Farm in Pleasanton, Kansas. minecreekfarm.com We needed straw for mulch.
