Be careful putting things in the field to keep people out, especially if you plan for them to crash into it. A few years back, my mom planted a few trees and bushes along our yard near the ditch. A nice row of them. In the winter, snowmobilers drove right over them, not paying attention. The next year, my mom replanted them and put stakes with orange flags next to them in the fall so that they would be more easily seen. Same thing happened, the snowmobilers drove right over them. This really hurt her feelings. So, the next year, dad put up stakes and flags again, but instead used some cold-rolled steel bar stock he had in the barn. He sank them about two feet in the ground and left about three feet sticking out. "If they drive over them this year, they're going to remember it," he said. Sure enough, after the first big snow storm, the snowmobilers came flying through there and two of them hit stakes, damaging their machines and one guy nearly got hurt. This caused huge problems and we ended up spending some time in court defending ourselves. We had previously talked to these guys and asked them to be careful of our trees and whatnot. That's all that saved us. Otherwise, according to the judge, if we had put these stakes in a known snowmobile path (on our own property, even) and caused damage or injury, we would have been on the hook for it. So, just be careful what you do to deter folks from coming onto your property.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
