Yesterday while driving back from a job site in SMS's neck of the woods,(lower hudson valley area), I am admiring a great looking field of tall corn, that the farmer started chopping. I see the tractor and I think a New Holland chopper. Look closer and there is the farmer, off the tractor and in front of the corn head/pick-up doing something. While I glanced over, I see something come through the chute. This fool was working to clear it or something while it was running !!! Why do people do things like this?
Reason I mention it is because when I was very young, my long time farmer friend who is now deceased, had one of his helpers, (a very nice, semi-retired man) get mangled up in equipment used at the silo when filling the silo from what he called "chuck wagons" JD wagons which he had until not that long ago. Must have been a silage blower the man was caught in. He was mortally wounded, and the emergency personnel were able to talk with him until he passed. I spoke with one those people in recent times about this accident as it was a long time ago. No one spoke of it ever on that farm, it was very sad, as they were great friends, the farmer and the man who was killed on his farm.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows!
