You can have pretty bad winter driving conditions in midwestern states too, Illinois & Iowa, Indiana, even Kentucky. The Wife before we were married wanted to go see our high school football team play for the State Championship. My car could nicely seat 4, Me, my girlfriend, her little sister, and cousin. Drove down to Champagne Illinois no problem. Started raining in 2nd quarter, changed to snow in 3rd quarter. Had to be 400-500 cars from our town there. We get out on the Interstate and guess no snowplows on Saturday nights! We CONVOYED single file 180 miles about 40 mph, there was 4-5 inches of sloppy wet slush in the left land, you got out of the wheel tracks at your own peril. We made it no problem. I had accepted 8 hours of overtime at the FARMALL PLANT on Sunday, DOUBLE-TIME. Was not missing that! I go out about 5 AM and my car is an ice cube. It starts but won't move, finally get it to move, make my way back to the Interstate, make it to work just in time to punch onto the time clock. Helped my Brother-in-law shovel a foot of snow off his driveway in St. LOUIS on day. Oh, laid in 4 inches of fresh snow in zero degree temps to adjust the fan belt on a Dodge camper van in North-Western Louisiana one morning. Bad weather and bad road conditions can happen almost anywhere. Had slick snowy roads in Wyoming I think it was at about 10,000 ft elevation in the middle of JUNE.

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
