Well, today I went down to the lower farm to plow, hoping for drier ground. Had a few damp spots, but no problem with 4WD. There is still some limited fall color down there around the beaver dam. This 41A field had oats planted on it but after the harvest wild white clover really took root. It made for an excellent cover crop to be plowed under. I have the plow set in deep and it is leaving some green on top to control erosion. If I set the plow a bit shallower it would leave a nice trash free,smooth surface, but this field gets steeper on the lower end and some trash will help control erosion. (You No-Till guys can keep your opinions to yourself), we have seen both pros and cons in this area, and at 85yro the remaining uncle is not about to drop a lot of money to buy new expensive no-till equipment. so we are using our tried and proven old school equipment. I plowed about 25A this afternoon, and will finish up the rest tomorrow before rain moves in again in late afternoon, if nothing breaks. I poped a couple of shear pins on the #3 shank today, which has never happened on this plow. I had to call the wifey and get her to get some bolts from my shop and bring them down to me. That wasted about 40 min. of time that I could have been plowing, but at least I didn't have to make the 4 mile trek back to the farm and then back to the field.
The next 2 pic are of a fawn that spent quit some time at the end of the field I was plowing. I was about 50' from it many times this afternoon. I guess it was just enjoying the sunshine and the view. The last pic is looking down the valley to the novelist, James Fenimore Cooper's beloved Lake Glimerglass, head waters to the Susquehanna River.----------------Loren

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
