Nope he was told more than a year ago that this year was it. And I know he fertilized lite because of that. He is a town kid who dreamed of farming. I have to give him credit because he's been far more successful than some farm boys who inherited everything and has worked darn hard to get where he is. He farms over 1000 acres and on land he owns has 500 under irrigation. Not too shabby for a guy who grew up poor and got his start working for a tire service place. He then started his own tire service and then bought a farmstead. He and his wife started farming with 16 acres owned with a decent barn milking 40 cows. He was working his tire service business, milking in the morning with his wife and then "going to work". When he got home he worked the fields to raise his feed for his cows. In the winter he worked on his equipment at night geting it ready for the next year. When he was making enough on the farm to support his family and pay for operations he sold the tire service and dumped that money back into the farm. Now he thinks he should be able to farm everything. I guess he sucked me in for a few years and I thought of him as a friend but now he has shown his true colors.
Yea I'm venting! I thought that after 20 years of military service I could spot a phoney! Guess I'm madder at me for getting sucked in! You can bet I'll tell anyone I know not to rent to him! He's still a good farmer.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
