Some might remember that I bought land and farmer came on after purchase and drilled beans right over some of my trees....here is an update! Been getting the run-around for 3 weeks from the realtor...2 weeks ago the realtor came out to land with potential buyers of an adjoing lot and my dad got on the realtor real hard. The potential buyers of the other lot were upset that the realtor didnt do anything to remedy situation...next day, I had a check to cover 3 times my cost. Seems there was a miscommunication, seller didnt tell farmer land was sold, farmer didnt ask. After talking to other lot owners, seems that farmer did same thing in the past years...just planted corn or wheat on other lots without asking owners. This farmer is just a lazy SOB..I've been past his farm and he isnt the most professional person/organization. I have a farming background - so I would know. I think he is trying to get what he can off this land without paying for it....he has not paid rent on my land, nor paid it on others land this year either....I figure he thinks that he can just plant it since the current lot owners are not farming it. Here is where it gets bad.... Last week I called the realtor to tell him I got the check for the dead trees and I asked him if he or the seller had formally notified the farmer to "stay off" my land. He said "No, he hadnt". After farmer was told about trees being killed, the Realtor was asked by farmer "if there are any beans left in the fall, can I combine them". Realtor spoke and said, "YES, I dont see any reason not". I went off...I dont want anybody on there for any reason..I fear another shot of roundup on the roundup ready beans this summer, or combine cutting off my trees (which I replanted) So I think it is time for a certified letter to the farmer, seller, and realtor with a map of my 10 acres...telling him to not enter it or cross over to the other side, etc. No trespassing allowed for anyone for any reason. No combining, no spray or spray drift, etc. How would you handle this? ...and I plan to combine the beans myself...not let them to the farmer who sprayed my trees!

Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
