At one point, Tammy and Nick Dannar thought they would spend the rest of their lives working on a farm in their hometown of Hemingford.

They said it’s been the perfect career for them because of everything they’ve experienced on the road and also because they believe it’s made their marriage even stronger and happier since they get to spend nearly every minute together.
