This is my wife. September 19th will be a year. Pic was taken a couple days after our wedding. We came home from the honeymoon to bale, no one could help stack that evening, so I put her in the seat, showed her how to use the power director, told her no sharp turns, started her off, and away we went. She did as good as anyone I've ever had help me before, and it seems only fitting that the first tractor she drove helping me was the tractor (and baler) she "nudged" me into buying shortly after we started dating.. That's when I decided she was a keeper. I did kinda mislead her that evening.. I asked did she want to ride along while I went and finished the last couple rounds.. Had she known I was gonna stick her with driving she might have stayed back at the house lol.
I don't know that we'll live to see 40 or 50 years together, seeing we are both in our mid 30's, but I'll be thankful for every day we get. We make a pretty good team.. We "push" each other to pursue our dreams in life, and we support each others goals in life.. She also pushes me to do the things I should have been doing all along, like mowing the grass before it's long enough to bale (which I explain by baling it it helps the profit margin, but she won't buy it!), keeping the "junk" hidden behind the barn (the actual junk.. not the usable equipment so much), going to church on Sunday (life did seem to improve once I started attending regularly again), and not leaving my dirty clothes and boots in the middle of the kitchen floor (creates a trip hazard, or so I am told).
I've learned a few things since I've been married too.. Like I don't know how to do laundry.. Even though I bought the washing machine before we even met, I have been banned from using it.. Something about I'm not supposed to wash pocket knives and wrenches with my pants. In fact, I've kinda found out all of my "domestic skills" were NOWHERE NEAR as good as I had once thought they were lol! I also found out my "bachelor" decorating and all the free furniture I had accrued over my single years was sorta unacceptable. Although function of the furniture was ok, I guess fashion is also supposed to come into play too (who woulda thought?!?).
I tried to add some comedy along with my seriousness most the way through my rambling, but in all seriousness, had my wife not come into my life 3 years ago this October, I wouldn't be where I'm at today. I'm very glad when I got to the "Y" in the road, I went towards her direction and not the direction I had been heading in.
Thanks for the post, and allowing me to ramble on.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
