Spook lives just north of my place. We actually have several operations locally that are at least equal to yours. Some quite a bit larger. There is a dairy operation about 4-5 miles NE of me. At one time they were either the largest landowner in the county or second. Most of the guys I know own anywhere from 50-100 acres and then lease the rest. I look at the ones around me and have to believe the equipment is all leased. There are two auction companies with substantial on-line auction businesses. One of these up in the thumb is still doing big volume. The other one down in Mason only has a couple of items in it's February consignment sale.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
