When I was a kid we used a trench silo. Every couple of years there would be a middle of the night fire drill when the fermenting silage would catch fire and we would be racing out with buckets of water to put it out. Everyone pile in the '47 Chevy and DON'T SPILL ANY WATER. I always wondered how anyone just "knew" it was on fire. It wasn't until I was farming on my own that it dawned on me that someone must have been checking on it in the night!
Yesterday I lit several brush piles that I had pushed up from cleaning fence rows. They really burned well. Too well, I guess. There I was at 2:30 this morning (after my own midnight check) with my wet gunny sack putting out the pasture fire. Sheesh. I ended up causing myself more work as about four big hedge trees burned off and fell so now those have to be cut up. It was kind of like the late night fire drills at the trench silo all over again.
I never did hear about anyone else's trench catching fire. Was ours the only one? Maybe because the sedan we used was too green when we put it in. It probably would have been pretty hard on a stave silo getting that hot and all.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
