"if it can't be done on a computer kids don't even want to think about it."

Don't brand all kids this way. I'm 15, and quite enjoy farm work. Even picking rocks and pulling calves doesn't really bother me (well, being knocked into the side of a barn by a less-than-happy cow didn't thrill me in the least). If I was one of the kids you described, I certainly wouldn't be restoring tractors. I see where you're getting at, though. A lot of city kids don't know anything about farming, or even farms in general. Here's a true story I heard: A few school classes were given tours of a farm. One of the kids commented "Wow, that's a really big pig!" Guess what, it was a cow. Yeah, it's sad to see what's happening to farming, and the world in general. I wouldn't be surprised if the human race eventually starts regressing.

Oh, and for the rest of you too: Don't lynch me! I come in peace, despite the green paint splatters on the coveralls! :-)
