I feel much the same way, but I try not to get all worked up about these things we can’t control. I have seen corn in others fields half way to the knee get frozen and turn purple/black and be dead as a stone, while mine was still safe and dry in the bag. The push to plant earlier and earlier is driven by the cash crop grain corn growers. They know that they can’t wait till it is warm to start planting, because they have so many acres to plant, the last acres will go in late and risk frost on the other end of the season.

And I don’t try to grow a variety that won’t mature within our frost free days.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
