That's a very good day, Justin. I remember how there were crews out of Texas that wold bring in the Texas harvest, then start working their way north with a couple of pickers and trailers, or a combine and a couple of "bob trucks', doing custom harvesting work for the farmers who did not have the equipment themselves. They'd just keep following the harvest north, until they reached the Dakotas. If I recall, they worked for a percentage of the harvest. I imagine they made enough to pay for their pickers or combine, and stash some away. Some of them literally slept on the ground, under their trucks or trailers, with their bedrolls. As youngsters we were always cautioned to avoid the men ... because "They carry guns". The modern day cowboys.
