I grew up on a Sea Island south Charleston SC. called Edisto. It was covered with the remnants of old cotton plantations our farm was a portion of one and grand parents lived in the overseers house when they bought it in 1937. Truck farming was most prevalent. Tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers, watermelons etc. We had cows and pigs and grew corn and soybeans. Dad did all kinds of things to support his farming habit commercial fishing and most any honest work. He had a 51 F6 Ford flat bed dump truck that He used on the farm and hauled dirt with (Loaded by shovel) and graded lots on the beach with the farm tractors. Dad had an 850 Ford that he put a loader on to load dirt. That is why I love those tractors I felt like they saved my life when we didn't have to load them by hand. He was also the Magistrates Constable and to most people he was the law on the Island. Back then they would call Dad first and then call the police. Dad would grab his shotgun and be there in a few minutes and the police it would take 45 minutes to an hour. Even if they didn't call dad the police would come get him first because he knew every body particularly if it was a domestic. During the first Moonwalk Dad and I were investigating a call where some one had backed into this Ladies house with a truck. We had to follow the truck tracks (dirt roads) till we found it. The Guy was drunk and had gone by to see his girl friend and backed into her house. Dad bought matching 3010 JDs and my brother and I would work together. Dad planted watermelons one year and lost money. Years of bad weather and poor land.Better schools and finally gas prices, Dad quit farming in 73 and we moved to town as we were working there all the time doing construction work. I thought I was going to die. I always meant to move back but never have. Most of the people I cared about then are not there anymore. Where did you come from? Ron

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
