Noticed on this morning’s walk that the TDS fiber workers are using a Ditch Witch excavator. Ditch Witch used to be in Perry, a town of 10k near Enid. Are they still there? YES.
The company became a branch of Toro in 2019 but still manufactures in Perry, with 1600 employees.
Good sign. In former decades every sizeable town had some real manufacturing. Makes me happy to see that Okla is maintaining its local industries, not driving them to Texas or China with crazy requirements.
