I farmed a field for many years. I always pastured the upper half of the field. The land owner died and his kids sold the land. A local BTO bought it. The first thing he did was take all the fences out. Then he went in with a deep ripper to make that upper ground grow good crops. (BTO talking at the local Coop) Well about fifty feet into the old pasture he got to spend a lot of money!!! He hit the limestone layered rock that is only maybe 8-10 inches under 50% of that upper part of the field. He was going so fast that the ripper did not trip all of the shanks fast enough and he bent the main frame on the ripper. He found out why that part of the field had been pasture for over 60 years.
He farmed it a few year and sold it. The new fellow just finished rebuilding the fences this fall. That upper part is back to pasture. It is funny how all of us older farmers are not as stupid as many of the younger/bigger farmer seem to think.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
