Farmer writes Santa in a Manitoba farm life letter
A farmer Alex Joe Farmer pens a Christmas letter to Santa detailing farm toy memories, grain and fuel concerns, computer upgrades, and local events. He thanks Marion Kostuik and Tracy’s family in San Antonio, notes birthdays, accessibility by handi van, and hopes for a new computer and a thawed winter. He wraps with farm office updates from Manitoba Agriculture in Russell.
