My dad came home the other day to the sound of a chain saw in his woods. When he went out he discovered the farmer, whom he has known for 40 years, cutting up a huge red oak that he had dropped, because he claimed a branch interfiered with his equipment. Well, dad has been walking this woodline for the past few years and always cuts down any branches that hang over into the feild and may cause a problem, to be nice. Dad asked him why he didnt try and cutdown the popples which actually would have been , if any, trees would be in the way. Well the farmer grumbled about the shade from the tree. Well, every year he plows as close to the woodline as possible, even sprayed the woodline edge with tree killer one year. By property lines dad owns a good 15-25 feet into the feild to begin with. This guy also was cutting up the tree as firewood peices, tossing them in his truck, and tossing the brush in the woods. He has been doing this off and on for 20 years, and dad has talked to him before, this time he just told him to get the he!! out of there. 1. I think he is after the big live oaks so the sun shines on the feild, cause he is always an early sower and the woods is on the south side of the feild, 2. he likes to give the wood( my dads wood actually) to his son. Dad wants to know what he should do. I told him after all these years of telling him, if he wants to to farm to the woods, pay rent on that acre or 3, otherwise stay on his side of the line. 2. send him a bill for that tree, When the road was expanded dad recieved $1500-$2000 per live large oak tree that was removed, that is what the appraiser valued them at. So what is a farmers rights on land edges like this, and being farmers and landowners what would you all do.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
