Hi, I'm a 66 year old retired(sort of) machine tool mechanic. 10 years ago I thought I would never want to retire but then the job got so damned complicated with new management ideas and japanese built machines that I got out when I turned 65. I came back here to so. mich. where I grew up from California where I spent most of my working life. I've got two John Deeres like I thought I wanted when I was a kid-an "A" and a "GW",pretty well restored but stock( the G will still burn kerosene) Anyhow it seems really sad to see what a struggle it is for most of the farmimg people to "stay afloat". This country isn't like I thought it would be-and farming is not the rewarding occupation it used to be-not for very many at least. I guess a country whose main products are millionaires and billionaires doesn't appreciate people who supply food, who are in the mud and the dung trying to make a living 'cause it's what they love to do. It is just sad-and we call it progress. Thank God for the memories and satisfaction old farm tools bring us with that background. Bless You All.
