There is a lot of stealing going on, not just in Indiana. I don't know if its a law or not, but if scrap yards are getting stung by law inforcement showing up and tracing stolen metal back to crime scenes, then if I am an honest scrap yard owner that stands to be fined, shutdown, possibly arrested, then I am going to get everything on the seller so that when the cops come knocking on my door, I am so pointing my finger at pictures, copies of drivers licenses, and everything that I can on the seller.
You want to know an example of what really stinks? Someone sneaks out into the middle of your fields in the middle of the night and strips your very expensive irrigation system of cables and wires, and by the time you find out about it, its already at some scrap yard. And that's just one example. Make your weekly field rounds and spot some big dark heap of something out in the distance, so you go take a look and find that its the sheathing of miles of electrical wiring that got stolen from someone, your field got used to strip it clean for the scrap yard, and on top of it, you're stuck with the pile of sheathing to clean up and deal with. You go out and start your old farm truck that has been setting a week or so, and it rumbles to life, exhaust unmuffled. You shut it off and look under it, there's a gap in between the Y-pipe from the engine and the muffler where the catalytic converter used to be. These things and far worse are happening more and more.
Yes, it may be an inconvenience, but bad people caused it.
The thing that angers me worst of all? Every now and then, police or sheriffs deputies pop into taverns to check IDs in hopes of capturing underaged drinkers, and NEVER ask me for my ID. I offer them money to card me, and they refuse because they say that there's not enough money in this world to justify or cover them on that one. DANG!!!

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
