Isn't that a fun one. I rented two pieces and a pasture that amounted to about 100 acres. I had never gotten along too well with the owner after he bought it from the longtime landlord. He came to me two years ago and said XXX (BTO) want to cash rent all but 30 acres of it. It was an amount way more than it was worth so I let him. The landlord wanted corn on his land (we were on shares) and I wouldn't do it. It wasn't corn ground and I told him that. So the BTO cash rents it and puts corn on it. They didn't even bother cutting the top third it was so bad. About half way through last winter the owner calls up beating around the bush and finally comes out and asks if I want to rent that pasture again as no one will. I told him absolutely not as it hadn't been sprayed and maintained and was a thistle mess as it was. It hasn't been rented two years now. I wonder if that all seems like a good idea now? I noticed this year there are beans on that corner. Except for that top terrace. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON IT. I figure the hired man forgot after doing the headlands. That, or they learned how bad it was and decided it wasn't worth the seed. It looks really nice there right on the road across from the owner's driveway. It gives me sadistic glee every time I drive by it.
The owner called last summer and said the same BTO wanted to rent the 30 acres I kept for the same amount. I had put good starter on it so I sucked it up and cash rented it this year. I won't next year. It has an excellent crop of beans on it - about the best crop I have raised on that old hillside sandy dirt. That BTO can have it. He just keeps wearing out his welcome everywhere. I am sure the phone will ring in the next few years and I can tell the owner to shove it in his tailpipe. I can wait that long. In the meantime he best stop sneaking into my section to hunt.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
