I am pretty lucky. All my neighbors are great. Most are older and retired. At 50 I am the young punk around here. They seldom ask for anything and when they do they are always willing to pay. I mow pastures for them in the summer, do minor plumbing, electrical, replace the occasional rotted post, or whatever, and they all pay what I ask. I try to treat them right. If I leave for a day or two they will drive over twice a day just to look around and make sure things are OK. If animals need fed it is taken care of and I do the same for them when they leave. In the winter I will push snow if needed so they can get out if need be and that is always good for a home made something from the kitchen. Good enough for me. We all leave keys under the seat to vehicles and now and then you get home and there is a note on the door that someone borrowed it because theirs was broke down and they will be right back. It comes back with at least as much fuel as was in it when it left. A few years ago we had a horrible snow with a lot of wind and one neighbor could not get his old tractor to start. I was at my goat dairy plowing snow with mine and he called and asked if he could use mine to clear his long drive. I told him no problem, but I was not going to finish up until about midnight and I would need it back in early in the A.M. to plow the dairy again so I could milk. I drove the tractor home from the dairy and hit the sack. My wife woke me up at 2 A.M. to tell me that she heard the tractor start up and head out the drive. I told her that Ed needed it to clear his drive and he will be back soon. I got up the next morning and fired up the tractor and noticed that the tank was full. Ed filed it from his barrel I guess. I headed off to the dairy to push more snow before milking. When I got there it was already done. He worked all night on a tractor with no cab and all it cost me was the loan of the tractor to clear his drive, two gallons of fresh milk, and two lbs. of cheese out of the cooler. I tried to give him some cash and he refused. I have great neighbors.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
