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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
