The harvest of deception
July 2021, North Dakota, middle of nowhere. I was living in a 42-foot bumper pull trailer we called our bunkhouse. It was long and too narrow. Just enough space for a tiny bed, in which it was hard to sleep anyway because every time somebody went to the bathroom, that bunkhouse, well, it shifted. Eight of us squeezed in there. That was our base for three months during the harvest season.
