I have a grain bin that is only about fifteen feet from the county road. It is the only thing left of that farm site. I never worried about corn being stolen because there is no electric on the bin. We only store dry corn in it and when we empty it I bring my generator and the auger motor off of a bin at my house. Last year I came by it and noticed that the door was open. Someone had opened the door and then opened the small slide that is behind the door. I went up top and checked how much they had taken. They had not taken maybe five bushels. What really PO me was that they had left the slide open and it ran a pile of corn on the ground that had gotten rained on. I cleaned the pile up and installed a pad lock on the bin door.
Four weeks later the door was open again. This time they destroyed the door to get it open while it was locked. Same song on the corn. I had to go buy a new door, $295.00. This time I welded steel straps across the door with a pad lock on each one.
Four weeks later I was checking the bin the door was fine. Around on the back side there was a four inch hole in the first bin sheet. They had taken a hole saw and cut a hole in the bin. This really steamed me. I had called the Sheriff each time and they just took the report over the phone because it was under five hundred dollars in value. This time I called them and asked if I needed to report that there where drug left at the scene so they would show up. I had a "officer" there in less than one hour. All he did was take two pictures and tell me that was all he could do. I bought a motion activated camera. Again in four weeks the patch was taken off of the hole in the bin. I got pictures of two men bagging ten bags of corn and putting it into their big Escalade. Yes they had a forty thousand dollar vehicle stealing sacks of corn!!!! I took the pictures to the sheriff. They arrested the guys. They where feeding thier girl friend"s horses. Got a small fine and probation. I did not get anything for my corn. I did go by where they lived and had a little talk about how I DID own several guns. I have not had any more corn stolen but the law was useless and had to be forced to do thier job.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
