I'm 40 and do those things. There is just too much to remember with today's equipment. I have started writing on the equipment how many things I have to do to it at certain times. Example is the 12 row planter yesterday. When I get to the field I have 5 things to do to be ready to plant. When I see that 5 I start counting what I have done. Unfold wings, put in wing lock pins, pull rigid plant turnbuckle pin, change hydraulic lever to plant, and pull button to actuate markers. Without counting those and knowing I did all 5 before getting in the cab I will forget and tear something up.
Our parents didn't have equipment like we have. They had their own challenges but many of them weren't all of the steps it takes to do some of the same jobs but get better results. I hope I am still farming in my 60's. I see 70 as a slow down point.
H@11, I had to lay a brick right smack in the middle of the shed drive the other day so I would remember to shut off the battery charger before I went inside. It worked. Carry a clothes pin in your pocket and clip it to your shirt sleeve when you are in the middle of a job. With that thing touching your arm you won't forget about the power lines.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
