From living and working on the family farm that has been in the family and worked by family for well over 200 yrs, I noticed another change in atmosphere here when each grandparents passing come to be. Each time it was like the passing of a legendary guard so to speak and the train of thought of the way things should be could waiver slightly. I have seen it before locally where the grandkids really wanted to farm the homeplace, but were denied till way later on after they had bought or rented more land and equipment which proved they were serious about they're desires to tend it. Ultimately they are farming it now. At the time they both had excellent jobs off of the farm and were busy which may have suaded the grandparents to shy away from letting it initially proceed upon 1st discussion of it. This possibly could be a same case situation you have that comes to mind locally. If you are serious about farming, can you buy or rent another tract of land in the meantime to more or less prove yourself that you have the desire and are serious about it ? There are 2 things that will cross up a family farm and that is money and land. In your case you sound like you're dealing with both devils. Working with family on a farm whether it's strictly business or in general labor wise can be tough. I've worked alongside my dad and grandparents on this one since I could walk and I'm 42 now. I wish you luck and maybe after the initial shock of your grandaddy's passing, the idea of you renting or buying the farm will warm up to those who are in charge.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
