Everything is plowed. We got a good bit of it done Saturday at plow day, I finished the last of the sod yesterday. I could be ready to plant by tomorrow afternoon or Friday, but it's so doggone cold. No rain in the seven day, but lows around freezing, highs in the upper 50s. It's so dry, we had trouble getting the small plows in the ground Saturday, but the big ones went in alright and the chisel plow is taking care of what the small plows didn't get.

I started planting on June 6 that year, finished the last silage corn on July 8. As much as I hate the idea of planting in the cold ground, I don't want to be kicking myself while I'm planting in June again this year if things take a sudden turn.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
