Got my oats planted today, along with alfalfa. Letsee, today is April what?? This is the absolutely earliest I"ve gotten oats planted - and this is CENTRAL Michigan! Usually just in the thinking stage this time of year... Probably the fastest we"ve ever got the job done too... Son and I tag-team plowed Sunday. Both tractors were giving heating problems, mine (wife"s MF 180 was engine heating... Son"s JD B was so hot the fuel was boiling in the sediment bowl leading to vapor lock.. Never had that happen either, especially at this time of year. Marathon disking and dragging to prep the fields followed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Heat a problem all three days. Little cooler today, and temperatures were under control. Pedal to the metal farming - but it"s done. Still have to spread fertilizer, but that"s a little less frantic, I can do that over the next few days, if it doesn"t rain. My old drill is so tired that the fertilizer section is inoperable, so will have to go in with a broadcaster to fertilize. Tractor I use for that has so light a footprint that I can float right over the field. But it"s done on March 22nd, WOW!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
