Monday I cleaned up some old pipe, metal and batteries and took it to the scrap yard. We were lined up waiting to get on the scales. I saw a trailer with mixed iron, dump rake and old horse drawn mower back up to crane. I watched them grab 'em with grappling claw and try to squeese them smaller. A ground attendent wrung the seat off the rake and mower and I was glad some one saved a small part. I thought of all the human sweat and time that had been used up on those 2 seats. Boy if we could archive all the thoughts of those guys as they rode them across the field. The mower has to be a IH because every time he grabbed the bar to crush it over, it would spring back to position, then he just flung it on the pile. Off to one side was the chassis of a JD model A or B sitting there like a sheep cowering in the pen at the slaughter house. I have never in my life seen so much scrap being processed , Lord only knows where it is going. I guess with the rate of $6.50 per 100# we are going to see more artifacts leaving.
