Hi guys, I was catching up and noticed a couple of you asked about my strom damage. We have everything cleaned up, the steel trucked away, the buiding materials burned and all tidied up. The barn has new rafters in place and straped, the steel goes on on Monday. I have to get the foundations from my two sheds bulldozed and hauled. The builder doing the barn roof is working on figures for a 40'x80' shed. The tractor saga continues. I went in to Vincent's(Case-I-H) to see how they were coming. A new hood arrived for the 584 all smashed in and scratched in transit($1400) so they reordered another...a few more days hold up. The tractor repairs are going to top $5000, the house roof was $3800, the barn roof $12,200 and another $2000 for eave troughs and some missing boards. The new shed is going to run around$27,000 so my damages are likely to go over $50,000 by the time the other small repairs are made to various pieces of equipment. I will be out the cost of bulldozing and removing the old foundations, probably another $2000 or so. The cows are calving and I had one yesterday and another this morning..things are slowly returning to normal, the new shed could be started as early as next week and that would sure be great to have a work place and everyhting inside. I don't wish a storm on anyone and you really don't know what it does to a person until you have had it happen to you..anyway thanks CNKS and Wade for asking and all of you, my internet friends who gave me your moral support.....Mike in Exeter Ontario

Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
