Well... It's that time of year. Bi-annually I do change my work hat. In June, I lost my last hat under the planter when doing soybeans and I took it off and hung it over the hazard light. It bit it when the wind blew it under the planter and it got a V slice up the middle, complete with a string of soybeans.
In June of 2014, my dad and I went to Ohio and bought a brand new Demco sprayer. I wasn't in a good money spending mood. I was pretty bleak about the purchase, but Jason, from Witmer's Agco in Columbiana, Ohio was a good man. I didn't want to spend the money, but we had to. Jason saw my pitiful hat and sweetened the pot. He gave my dad and I a new hat. I was floored by this. Dealers normally don't give new hats anymore. I told him I would wear it out.
Well... I think I did. It has been 6 months and I think I went maybe 8 or 9 days without wearing it to work in the time since he gave it to me.
My dad, being semi-retired from farming(he farms, but I do everything aside from putting him behind the steering wheel anymore.) hasn't really put a lot of time on his hat. Me? I wore the danged thing out.
This is the first time ever I got to see my hat before and after.
I think I owe all the rest of my hats an apology...
Have you ever worn out a good hat in 6 months? What was your favorite work hat?
I like my hats, but I beat them to death. I wish I had some of them back. Is there a hat you want back? I have many.

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
