    The Dangers of Low Water Crossings

    On our way to the hunting spot, we crossed a bridge over a very swollen creek. We were amazed at how high the water was compared to normal. We traversed this road often, so we knew the water was sure to be just as amazing farther ahead at the low...

    No Shortcuts in Tractor Safety

    No Shortcuts in Tractor Safety

    Growing up in the South, I operated tractors on a regular basis. I always thought the seat belt and rollover protective structure were so stupid. After hearing the details of an unfortunate tractor mishap, I quickly changed my tune.
