I farm, I work, and I ride. As I read many of the posts below, I'm surprised at the assumptions about the rider being stupid and a moron and ??? Nobody here was there when it happened, so who here knows? He or she is dead. Could just as easily be a biker or someone else commenting about the dumb farmer that ended up under his tractor or dragged into a PTO or...
A few years ago a buddy and I decided to take a ride one Saturday on his new used hog. As it turned out, it wouldn't get above 60, so we got off the highway and onto the back roads where we would be out of the way, not be a problem or cause a problem. Then some fella in his pickup caught up to us, me, because I was following my buddy to make sure he made it home. This guy literally got up to my rear fender, about one foot off of it, me, in broad daylight with no excuses as we were doing about 50. Guy got on my rear tire and hugged me for miles. Whenever an oncoming car would get close to us, he'd pull up along side as though he was going to pass, but wouldn't pass, but rather try to push us off of the road, and as the oncoming car would get too close and we wouldn't go off into the ditch, then he'd drop back off of my rear tire about a foot off again. We even slowed down when there was no oncoming traffic so he could pass us, but he wouldn't. Kept riding so close that if I had been carrying a handgun, I could have leaned back, rested the grip on his hood and then put at least one between his eyes, and we could have rode off with no one to witness a thing and left him there. Good thing for him, I was not carrying or he would have gotten it and would have deserved it. Anyway for miles until we hit a cutoff and got out of his way, some guy that we had never seen before, did nothing to, tried to put us into a ditch, a tree, whatever. Indiana is long since a concealed carry state. If that guy ever seeks us, or me out again like that, it won't end the same as it did then, guaranteed. I'm one of the nicest guys anyone would ever want to meet, but that's up to them.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
