I'm right here. Just got in from chores, I got my feet up in a chair, watching the world baseball classic, reading the days mail and seeing what you guys are up to. Not much going on here. This is my least favorite time of the year. Right now its the sun is still out beautifully but it is 27 degrees, windy and the ground is somewhere between frozen and a sloppy mess. The cows are really protesting about all this mud. The only thing worse is when it is frozen ruts. Right now it is darn hard to do anything. Went to a bull sale last saturday, should have got ya some pics of that but I didnt think about it till afterwards. I am planning on going to another on this saturday. Anyone have any expirence with a son of "mytty in focus"? His numbers make me think one of his sons would be a good choice for a bull on some heifers. We have had alot of rain lately so there is no hope of field work any time soon. Trying to decide whether or not to buy crop insurance. Never have before. Seems like we have so much tied up in inputs this year it might just be too risky to go with out. If corn went to $2 or something crazy like that it would make for a long winter. Went to a funeral for a neighbor yesterday. 92 year old life long farmer. He has been retired a good number of years and enjoyed his retirement alot. Avid golfer and all around a really special guy. Very active untill the last 6 months or so. He also was a WWII D-day vetran. He was in one of those dual drive sherman tanks in the first attack wave that was supposed to float but sank before they got ashore. He always said if it hadnt sank he would have been killed for sure on the normandy beach in that tank. He finally did land on the beaches a couple days later in a different tank and went on to fight in the battle for normandy and was awarded two purple hearts. He will be forever fondly remeber. I did get the 4020 out of the shop and it is seems to be working out well. Went to the Case-NH dealer this morning and picked up some parts and a couple of barrels of oil this morning. Time to get things ready to plant I suppose. Shouldnt have any new calves for at least a couple of weeks. Spent the better part of this afternoon cleaning up the mess in the shop. Going to visit the Fulton co. FSA office in the morning and drop in on my Pioneer seed dealer. Thinking if it gets down to 10 degrees tonight I will be able to put out hay for both groups of calves. The sooner spring gets here the happier I am going to be!! So what have all you guys been up to? bill

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
