J D, Let's think about this a minute. Al Kaline, the great Hall of Famer from the Detroit Tigers said one time that "There are no super men out here on the ball field. There are however people who make fewer mistakes than others." The same thing can be said about farmers. I have over ten years on you and I have seen it so many times that I could write a book on things that just happen. I don't think that age would enter in to it. Example, a forty year old young man who has a degree in mechanical engineering unhooks his fifth wheel gooseneck trailer, slams the tail gate shut and drives off. Hard to believe but it takes nearly two thousand dollars for a new tailgate installed on some of these newer pickups. It happens to all of us at nearly anytime in our lives. The thought of retiring struck me this past spring while I was planting beans. The young man working on the next farm to me waved to me as we passed by and I got to thinking that I knew his Great Grandfather. Maybe that is a sign that I should retire. While I was contemplating all this I ran the planter empty at the back end of a half mile field. If it had not been for the monitor screaming at me I would have most likely gone several more rounds before I would have checked the seed supply. I also remember someone asking me how, when there is only one tree in a hundred acre field, do you clip that tree with the end of a thirty foot disc? Seemed quite easy at the time. Maybe we should get together and write that book. It would be great for laughs.

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
