There was a bad ice/snow storm here a few years ago. Thousands of electric poles were snapped off. Some people didn't have power for three weeks +. "Our" crews work very quickly, call in crews from surrounding areas. I was lucky and only out 5 days. Some small towns/villages were out a while. It took 4 days to get dug out, 15'+ snow drifts blocking many of the roads, the one to the west of me to get to the highway was over a mile wide. I have been in town without power though, don't know about banks, but all the stores around that I went to do just fine without power.
I live 15 miles from a grocery store and 30 from other supplies, I always keep enough "stuff" on hand to last for some time without town trips. That outage was no big deal for me. I have electric wells for the main cow water, but there will always be windmills here too, so not an issue, don't even need a generator. House, water from the windmills plus could drain the water heater. Groceries all went out to the snowbank and cellar with frozen bottles of water in coolers. Heat, I have a propane gravity floor furnace, I put it in new a couple years ago, replacing another that was at least 60 years old of the same kind. It does not require any electricity, runs nearly silent, and heats efficiently. I would not have something that required electricity as the only heat source in the house, and this kind you can stand on and get warm in the winter, love the thing. I could put a wood stove in too, enough wood around, it's just something I never get around to.

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
