[quote="CVPost-DB4600"](quoted from post at 22:03:24 03/20/19) Working in St Peter I get to Mankato weekly for items and I was surprised at the amount of empty retail on the east side. That corner was dealt a bum hand in all that looked good 20 years ago. Lowe?s surprised me, but the majority of the rest are all victims of the changing face of retail. The west side seems to be a bit more sparse with retail and I can?t help to think in the case of Lowe?s they might have done better away from Menard?s, Mill?s, and Home Depot, but that would also put them on your doorstep which would cause the chickens to quit laying. There is a lot of good space sitting idle and Pa would have said something about how many hay bales we could stack in there. Mankato is a good city and should be a draw for businesses to fill that space. We are seeing a move to the malls attracting service oriented renters versus retail. I've seen it in Marshall, Hutchinson, Willmar, and St. Cloud. [quote]

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
