A short history of drink straws.

Thousands of years ago, people started using wheat and rye stems to sip their favorite beverages. About a hundred and forty years ago, paper straws were invented. After that, plastic straws took over. Then a sea turtle got hurt. Time to get rid of plastic straws. Let's get back to nature with all-natural RealStraw drink straws and stir sticks.

The BIG RIG! My 1952 Ford 8N tractor pulls my 1940's era McCormick Deering reaper binder. The greatest generation designed equipment that still runs eighty years later. GOD BLESS FARMERS! Every single one I met on this journey was incredibly hard working and helpful.
