We rent out our sod ground for potatoes when it's due to be ploughed so normally there's little or no ploughing for us to do ourselves. We do have a few fields that don't get rented out either because it's not suitable potato ground or its land we rent that the owner doesn't want potatoes to be planted in it so we plough it. We still have my late fathers 5 sod Kvernerland that's been here for at least as long as I can remember (I'm 42) and I use it behind his old 3505 MF. It's been 2 years since I last ploughed with it and I warned the Misses than that next time around it'll need a lot of repair before it goes back out again. I hooked it on yesterday got 2' and the hydraulic line blew,got a new one 18' long made up. Pulled it out of the weeds,got out to loosen the 3/4 bolt that holds the jack stand in place and it twisted off. Today I fixed that,put all new points,shears 3 new land slides and got a replace coulter assembly from salvage as one fell off and am doing a couple of small wet fields tomorrow before we get rain Sunday and after that I may not get over them before I do the dryer fields. The parts man at John Deer said he had 5 shears in stock to fit it and cut them from the $110 listed each to $55 as he said they can't be sent back and unless we took them they'd never sell. I love this time of year,everyone in the farming community is more relaxed and in a better mood lol. Really happy to have Dad's old plough back into shape and can't wait to use it tomorrow.

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
