The contractor wrapped it up today. There's no gravel on top yet and I expect the county to do that tomorrow along with some finish grading. I'll have a little seeding to do on the CRP filter strip land in that area. I'll give me a chance to put the 10' field cultivator on the back of the 2 banger and make it hunker down a bit. All-in-all they did a good job of finishing it off. I'm not a culvert/bridge expert so I'm not going to judge the rest of the project. It looks good to me. When I drove over it the first time the expanse where the bridge used to be seems so WIDE! For 62 years we've had a little narrow 15' bridge in front of our place. Now it looks like 30' but maybe I'm stretching it a bit ya think? The road will probably be a little rough in that area till it goes through the freeze and thaw next winter but a year from now it should be settled down. Jim

Looking south at new grade. The corn is tassled now.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
