Something to add..... Do NOT be "overprotective" with the children. Children that are protected from every possibility of risk become afraid to function. We all survived with rare exception without many of the "safety" devices there are today. We didn't need to wear a helmet to ride a tricycle. There were no seat belts in my mother's 1948 Chevy. We were told not to play in or near the creek because it was dirty - not because we might drown.....at least that is what we were told. BUT - we did not need fences to keep us away. Mom said to stay away, and we knew she meant it. As to food - we had a policy at the dinner table: you eat what is put in front of you or you go hungry. That solved a lot of the "picky eater syndrome" that is tolerated today. It also solved a lot of the "food allergy" problems that seem to be so widespread and common today. One that has never been exposed to peanuts is more likely to develop the allergy in later years than one that was exposed at an early age.
My biggest concern today is that parents are barely allowed to discipline their children for fear of child abuse charges and more government interference. I say let the parents be the parents. There is a lot of truth in the old saying - "spare the rod and spoil the child."

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
