JD, The same here. Our family became Case dealers in 1932. I was the owner of our dealership when the merger took place. We survived the cut, but the arrigance of the new regime IH management people didn't set well with me. The company flat out told us we had to build a new facility and drop some of our short lines. Interest rates were in the high teens and milk prices had tanked. They also flat out told us if we closed, they would not allow a new buyer to pick up the CaseIH franchise. We shut down in Oct. of 1986. There is still a lot of Red iron around here due to the efforts of a good friend of mine that got back into the machinery business in 1988 with a brand new facility with all the bells and whistles of the time. They are still going strong as a dealership, but their focus is not on CNH, it is focused on Kubota. and short lines. Most of the small family dairy farms are gone or now owned by the Amish. The remaining dairy operations left, are mega head operations, and have no loyalty to any of the local dealers. I walked away from the machinery business in 1992 and became a heavy equipment operator for a few years, and then became a building contractor, until health problems forced my retirement, 3yrs ago.

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
