Great story about your mother, few people care that much anymore. Larry, this kind of development is everywhere. I grew up near Greensboro, NC, and on the west side of town were several large dairies. When they combined the airport from another nearby town with the Greensboro airport, the area started to become industrialized and one by one the dairies were swallowed by developers. Along about a ten mile stretch of highway, one can see two old barns still standing. About twenty years ago, in the business park across from the airport, one could see the remnants of an old silo and a small building that had been used ( I guess), to cool and store the milk. Both were removed shortly thereafter. In the same area a man had built what looked like an antebellum plantation house for his offices. My company was doing some remodeling there and one morning I arrived with some materials before anyone else was there. I was just looking around and noticed in the grove of small pines behind the building, one could still see small ridges where rows of some crop (likely tobacco or corn) had been grown. In the past forty or fifty years, roughly two thirds of the county has been swallowed by either commercial or residential development.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
