From Our Readers: Farmers and Floats

Lightning over St. Andrews

This is a photo that I took on June 25 during one of the many storms that we had been having here. This was on the campus of St. Andrews University in Laurinburg.

The Speaks float

At the 42nd annual Mountain Park 4th of July parade in Surry County, Lee Von “Toby” Speaks of Speaks Farms [board president at Surry-Yadkin EMC] drove his 1945 John Deere model LA tractor while his two granddaughters, Anslee Prevette (left) and Sophie Welborn, throw candy to parade watchers. The photo is by Toby Groce.

Thank a farmer

This a picture of my husband, Jimmy Toler. He is a hard-working farmer. I brought dinner out to him and his sidekick Layla. The two are attached at the hip. The long hours he works are hard on both of us, but I know it’s for the greater good. Thank a farmer!
