Well, after the death of one of the uncles on the farm last fall, I thought they were scaling back, and did rent one of the 3 farm that they own, but they also had a deal with a neighboring farmer where they planted crops on about 50A of his land. The neighbor talked to the remaining uncle earlier this week, and they agreed to work his ground again this year, so I am back to plowing if it ever stops raining. This is creek bottom land and much different soil consistency than the high ground that I have been plowing. I went down today to see if I could plow and check out the fields. I have never been down there in them. Way too wet and slimy on top. I found the dead furrow and made a pass down the field, but did not try to plow back up through. I just deadheaded back up along the hedgerow. Both the sod and corn ground have to be plowed., plus a couple of other small irregular fields. About 50A total. As I have stated before much of this land around here, is on limestone bed rock, and ledges are prevalent in most fields. In the pic from the cab looking back up to the big ledges, in the corn field, you can see the stair steps where the ledges out crop and drop off. Plowing down over them is not much of a problem, but the plow points tend to catch into them on the trip back up, giving the plow's hydraulic reset system a real workout.
The big ledge covered with thick green moss is really awesome looking. The tree stump in last pic., has some significance, as the current landowner's brother, one of my classmates, was killed cutting the multi trunked tree down, about 20 years back now. Loren

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
