Hands down, one of my favorite business trips of the year for Minnesota Turkey is my annual trek to Washington DC in July. My boss and I take a group of our leaders – mostly farmers and sometimes a student or two – to our nation’s capitol to participate in…
It’s been too long since I’ve written about turkeys.
