You were smiling the whole time—how do you do it? I left mine at home because I can’t bear having them with me on a ‘me-day’!”“Looking for work-pants for the harvest contract and WHS says they have to be cotton or denim. Jeans will be too hot? What recommendations do the AgFabs have?”“Hi ladies, new listener here (so that makes me a new AgFab!).
