Stop me if you heard this one before....
So this fella from the city buys a 5 acre parcel and decides he's gonna make a small fortune raising chickens. He goes to the local feed and farm store and starts asking one of the workers for advice. A few days later he buys 100 chicks.
Abot 2 days later, he's back in there. He calls the worker over and claims they sold him defective chicks. "Every single one of those chicks died!" Well, the store worker is a bit puzzled. He gets the manager. The manager doesn't want to lose a customer, so he gives the city fella 100 replacement chicks and an apology.
2 days later he's back in there hoppin' mad. "Why these chicks are no better than the first 100. Every single one of them dead!" The manger asks him a few questions. "what are you feeding them?" "That starter mix your employee suggested." "Are you watering them?" "I have 5 of them fancy waterers your employee suggested I buy." "How 'bout heat lamps? Are you keeping them warm?" "Yes! I'm keeping them right at the temperature your employee suggested!"
Puzzled, the manager calls the worker over to join the conversation. The manager asks him to recount all the advice he'd given the city farmer. The employee rattles off every little detail of successful chicken farming-even a few tips the manager didn't know about, but that made sense to him. The manager turns to the customer and says, "Well, he gave you solid advice. I'm not sure why the chicks keep dying so quickly. But we'll give you another 100." The city fella thanks the manager. As they are loading the 100 chicks into his Prius, the city boy turns to the worker and says, "OK, I got one more question. I've followed all of your advice and your boss has confidence in you, so I'll trust you on this. But I've never once heard you say how deep to plant them."

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. 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. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
