I Didnt want to start a typing war the other night,,,but I feel like I should tell some more history of Hugo the old farmer,and his two brothers. Yes,,,Hugo was filthy dirty,the farm was a mess,,no denying that. But ,,,Hugo never drank a drop of alcohal,,never smoked,,,and ate only natural foods from the farm.That video,was filmed a while ago,he was in his 80 s then and lived a looong time after that. He never took subsidies never took welfare,,he worked nights in a plastic factory till he was in his late 70s and farmed in the daytime. The factory didnt want him to leave,,no one could outwork him. He had two brothers .ALL of them ,including Hugo,,were legally blind and their mother had vision problems too. They all liked to go to farm auctions,my dad and I And my brother took them to many of them,,,ANY,,and I mean ANY box of stuff that went for 50 cents or 1 dollar..was theirs,,,hense ,,some of the mess at the farm,,,lol, Hugo didnt drink a drop,,,but the two brothers Henry and Clarence did like to tip some when company arrived at the farm.I never saw them have one when there was no company, I didnt drink, was young,and was with them all day many times,they didnt drink if company didnt stop in to pass one around.They were sloppy,,,but smarter then they looked,,,Clarence was voted Mayor of the town in 1956 and did some great accoplishments for the town,Hugo graduated high school with top honors,and I can tell you for a fact he put many a people to shame talking of history,doing any math in his head,debating current subjects in the news,,,no one could come close.His place was a mess,but his animals were well fed,,the sack he was carrying was full of stale bread he fed to his geese,he bought the best high protien dog food,his dog coups looked rough,,but they got straw in the winter,plenty of food and water,,,believe me. Hugos brother Henry could see less than sny of them,never left the farm to work,,but worked very hard at the farm,One day he tried to run the tractor with no one home,he got too close to the stream a the tractor rolled on top of him,he was pinned and bruised but ok,,Hugo came home from work,,found him,,,lifted the tractor off of him..These are just a few things that I know about them,there are many,,many more stories. Hugo was the last brother living,he was getting old,They had no children or relatives,but lots of friends.Clarence died ,he owned three houses up the road from the farm,he left them to Hugo.A young carpenter lived in one of the houses.Hugo still had a cow,,but was getting old to milk it,The boy knew how much Hugo depended on fresh raw milk,He stopped in everyday before and after work to milk and feed the cow. When Hugo passed on,,he left that boy Clarences three houses.Hugo left money to the fire department,rescue squad,,,and left the old farm to the town and stated he wanted the land to be for young people of the town forever.The town made soccer and baseball fields in the hayfields,the old barn and house is still there.I am not ashamed to show a video of this man,messy and sloppy dirty as he was,,,I really knew him,,and am very proud to have known him,,, I felt it was my duty as their friend to tell some more history because there was a lot more to these people than meets the eye,It was truely an honor to have known them.,and I will never forget them.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. 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.
