These guys pick a lot of corn. All older equipment. They're good mechanics. Devised an automated wood-fired dryer for the shell corn. Really neat system they have. He's had a Case 4490 and an older Oliver. Big stuff, but older and they can fix them. Don't need a computer to do so. (y)

Jeepers - - relatively few miles north they're getting dumped on and would happily send some to you.... Several years ago, a farmer I know 20 miles north got something like 22 inches in a month, while my farmer neighbor just 2 miles south of me was begging for rain....

"Some animals provide us food; some animals provide us service, company and comfort. Sometimes dogs or cats help us maintain the farm, either by protecting the herd from wild predators, or keeping mice and other vermin from the animals and their food." As we know, growing up around a farm is...

Yeah skeets - - @mikester brings up a great point. I don't use a roller. You can mow my lawn with my BX2360 and your kidneys will know.... ;) I think a 3PH roller might be too "confining" to do a good job.

We don't have much of a garden anymore, except for the boxes I built for herbs. Last year we did some tomatoes too. For years, our oregano and thyme never came back in the spring. Some folks say oregano can take over a garden. This is the second year they have flourished. Maybe we got a...

True, “industrious” is a great term. Actually large timber is commonly felled with the use of a bottle jack placed in a pocket cut into the tree. Never done it, but seen examples of it. Floor jack is ingenious…use what you have and be ready to get out of the way real quick… Hope that hinge...

I think I know that guy, and he’s proof genetics works. Probably learned that “trick” from his father! 😳

This is how to buy EVOO. 10 liters or 2.6 gallons. I think she said it was $40.

I'll probably live to regret this, but I keep my keys in my front-left pants pocket. I'm left-handed. Haven't lost them in almost 50 years, except for one time I tossed them on my desk at work 25 years ago. Wasn't a good day, and I did something out of the ordinary. Similar fashion, wallet...

Boy - isn't that the truth. Now that we don't have any "young people" in the house or nearby anymore, we're often lost with IT stuff.... :oops:

Neighbor’s Versatile 875 has sat idle a couple years. Looks like he’s putting it back in service. Used to do a lot of corn. Bought it 10 years ago. Probably 40 years old, and looks and sounds great running. Probably a lot of horsepower for the money when he got it.

Wow- looks great. Ford - sorry to hear garden underwater. I know you put a lot into it. Corn is just starting to get planted up here. Saw first planter yesterday.

Foolish question for you crawfish guys. . The sweet corn in the boil; is that in season down there now or is it from frozen? Doesn’t really matter, as it looks so great! Just curiosity. I don’t travel much. I don’t know where you guys are in growing season(s), except what I see with Ford’s...

Now if you had wireless home security, maybe you could! See what I did there, brought it back to the topic…😉
