Went through similar about 15 years ago. One day Mom and Dad living on their own, the next day Dad suddenly passed, and Mom unable to care for herself, and also passed 5 months to the day later. They had lived there over 50 years, which means a lot of accumulated items, but not a lot of value on much of it overall. I had an auctioneer look to do a public sale, and he said not enough really, mostly because I wanted to keep the farm equipment. Ended up having a fairly large yard sale, gave some to Salvation Army, a few items went to ebay, and believe it or not I still have items stored, which obviously I do not need. I still have and use some of the farm equipment, chain saws, some tools, etc. I had no brothers/sisters, so no problems with fighting with other family members over it (advantages and disadvantages both on that from what I have seen). There were two small farms, I kept one, built a house on it, and sold one farm, and the house and lot I used to live on and that worked out well, since I was able to move back to the country, and retain one farm that had been in my family over 100 years. Bottom line, don't make quick decisions, think things over, and make a plan even if it takes 2-3 years to execute. I rented storage for a time, but looking back, I should have just built a small building vs. paying for rented storage. I have very few regrets. When my MIL passed, on the other had, we were younger, made quick decisions, and later regretted some of those decisions. On that one, we both wanted it done, and move on, which means quick decisions, and not always wise ones.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
