I got the Fox 3000 hooked on yesterday, switched the heads today and sharpened the knives a little bit, adjusted the shear bar, greased and oiled the whole rig, then chopped off the 1st 2 loads tonight. I went out around 8:00 and got to test out the new lights- Oh man do they ever help on the front! The back ones really help too, but I've had those for 2 years already.
Had to scrape out the cow yard and set up the blower for straw tonight, still had the 2 wagons full yet from our oats we had combined about a month ago. I unloaded the 1st wagon while mom & dad milked cows, then I chopped the 1st load while dad unloaded the second wagon of straw.
Corn looks really good too so far. Most of it is a good 8+ ft tall, some of it goes over the top of the canopy on the 1855- about 10'. I didn't fill the wagons too full, but it was only about 4 rounds (8 rows) off the 5 acre field so far to fill both of 'em. Looks like a 2nd gear season, mostly in direct/under too. Last year was 3rd almost the whole time.
Tomorrow I'm gonna spend some time with the fiance while dad works on the fence, then when I get back we'll set up the blower on the small silo and see if we can't get a few more rows off. Next weekend is gonna be the big weekend I think, but my brother and I have to pick pumpkins off the ends of 1 field first. We've got corn in the middle and pumpkins on either end instead of headlands for that field.
Next weekend is gonna be the 3rd year of us selling pumpkins again. We used to do it when we were younger (all 5 of us plus mom & dad's occasional help) but now it's just me & Tim. Great year for our pumpkins too.

Today's Featured Article - Good As New - by Bill Goodwin. In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
