Bruce, Your answer is in your first sentence. You are addicted. The next question would be is your son and grandchildren also addicted???? This is very important. I come from a similar background. Dad died when I was ten years old and we were milking thirty five cows. My childhood ended the day he died. Mother and I were milking the day after he was buried and that was 10-29-1951. Although I knew at the time that it was our only source of income I never became addicted to milking cows. After about twenty years we switched over to crop farming and never looked back. I retired five years ago at seventy five and had a new home built in Arizona. We spend the winter season here and the summers on Lake Charlevoix in Michigan. Several miles from here there is a dairy operation that milks 22,000 cows twice daily and any time I need to be brought back to reality I drive by this place. They say all things change but I can tell you that the smell of cows has not changed in fifty years. Most all farmers compete against each other whether it be dairy or crop or even specialty crops. Think about trying to survive competing against an operation like this where they have reasonable land, cheap labor and sunshine the year around. They feed twelve semi loads a day of fresh chopped alfalfa every day of the year. I told my wife that if those cows don't give milk on that alfalfa they deserve to be hamburgers. You need to give the real problem a lot of thought and treat the addiction.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
