A Spring in Your Step
Feeling better? A spring in your step? Maybe that expression refers to the season, not the bounce. Our farmers are stepping springily, but that’s because they’re making up for time lost to this past….(fill in the blank). Not even going to mention the “w” word today.
Important — Next Week
The market will be closed next week for Easter. We’ll return the following Sunday, April 27.
