    Hello, Farming and ranching has lots of challenges. And I’m not real good at challenges. Many of those challenges involve repairing equipment. This is something I’m really bad at. That is worse than being “not real good at”. So you would think that I would take something into the implement dealer or the pickup dealer if I have a problem. You would think so. But you are wrong.

Now, that hobby has turned into a full-time business. On August 1, Smith-Kuehn left long-term employment to do what he loves; buy and sell vehicles. Smith-Kuehn's shop at 524 N. Central Avenue in Ekalaka is clean. It's organized, at least by most people's standards. He apologizes for what he says is a...
