It was a beautiful day yesterday to cut. Temp's were good and the fields weren't to soft from a little bit of recent rainfall. We farm in Central Pa about an hour north of Harrisburg just outside the city of Sunbury. Our farm was recently registered with the state as a Bi-Centennial farm since it has been in my family since 1806. I can't say as to how the naeighbor's buckwheat yielded as I didnt get the chance to talk to them. The tall stubble in the pics is the corn fields we had allready combined. Both the corn and the beans that we raise are Pioneer seed. We have a very good rep that lives close by and always treats us well. We have raised other brands in the past including Funk's but the Pioneer seems to work the best on our acreage. As for the M earning her keep. It just happened to be the only tractor at the shed where we keep our wagons at the time. Usually we pull the wagons with our 766 or our 7120 Magnum, but they weren't close by. We normally use the M to pull our sprayer but by next year it may get retired and fixed up. She's been a good old girl to us for many, many years. It was overhauled one time in its life back in the late 70's and had a Super M sleeve and piston kit put in it at that time and has never been apart since. I took it to a recent antique show and they asked me to dyno it and it put out about 58 horsepower on the hard draw down. So you can imagine I had a big grin on my face that day. My great uncle bought it new in 47 and my parents are the second owners of it as well as a 51 H that the same uncle bought new. They both went from his farm to our farm so they have never been out of the family. They have a lot of meaning to me and as long as I have anything to say about it they aren't going anywhere. Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Today's Featured Article - The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it. Obviously that draft will increase if the implement runs deeper than eight inches, and decrease if it runs shallower. Why not use that draft fact to control the depth of work automatically? The draft forces are
