I apologize for the OT message, but I need to vent. Hey you young guys and old farmers also! What happened to the young farmer? I am in my early 20"s, and have loved agriculture all my life. I went through grade school being almost ashamed of my upbringing and now I know why. I love to farm. It almost p***es me off to see these young kids walk around with JD clothing on because they think its cool. These same kids are probaly the ones (I apologize if thats not the case) that make fun of the few that graduate high school and don"t go to college to stay home and work the family farm. Many young farmers are smart, hardworking individuals who would rather not make millions, but perserve the family farm and keep it in the name. They realize the hard work and dedication put into the land by their fathers and grandfathers. How many times have you seen a 5 generation family farm sell to a conglomerate corporation or "Factory Farm", just for the fact that there is no one in the family willing to accept the responsibility. They all want to take their share and run. I urge all farmers to include their sons and daughters in the daily activities of the farm. A little hard work never hurt anyone. It"s time we put the number 1 American industry back on top. Make your children or grandchildren proud of who they are and where they came from. We need doctors and lawyers and etc., but they need to eat just like everybody else. There is no shame in farming for a living, and it can be very prosperous. Anyhow, God Bless America and ALL Americans! Let"s talk tractors:-)

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
