Tired-Out Ranch, Tolna North Dakota

WIsh I could help these folks out. They have got a lot of good ideas but sounds like the state is fixing to come down on them big time due to their lack of compliance with stupid rules and regs that require tires to be BURIED in a landfill! Where they will be the next generations problem of course… 🙁

A MUST READ!
