This week’s featured video was published by Reuters News Service to share the story of innovative farmers in Ukraine.  Russian troops mined farm fields, so Oleksandr Kryvtsov used armor from damaged and abandoned Russian tanks to build a mine remover attachment for his tractor.  Using remote controls for the tractor, the Ukrainian farmers are clearing fields of mines to prepare for wheat planting.  While this is not a pleasant story, it does show how farmer ingenuity and innovation can overcome even life-threatening challenges, such as the Russian invasion.  thanks to Mark Maudlin, Washington County for sending in this week’s video to share.
