Well, after the death of one of the uncles on the farm last fall, I thought they were scaling back, and did rent one of the 3 farm that they own, but they also had a deal with a neighboring farmer where they planted crops on about 50A of his land. The neighbor talked to the remaining uncle earlier this week, and they agreed to work his ground again this year, so I am back to plowing if it ever stops raining. This is creek bottom land and much different soil consistency than the high ground that I have been plowing. I went down today to see if I could plow and check out the fields. I have never been down there in them. Way too wet and slimy on top. I found the dead furrow and made a pass down the field, but did not try to plow back up through. I just deadheaded back up along the hedgerow. Both the sod and corn ground have to be plowed., plus a couple of other small irregular fields. About 50A total. As I have stated before much of this land around here, is on limestone bed rock, and ledges are prevalent in most fields. In the pic from the cab looking back up to the big ledges, in the corn field, you can see the stair steps where the ledges out crop and drop off. Plowing down over them is not much of a problem, but the plow points tend to catch into them on the trip back up, giving the plow's hydraulic reset system a real workout.
The big ledge covered with thick green moss is really awesome looking. The tree stump in last pic., has some significance, as the current landowner's brother, one of my classmates, was killed cutting the multi trunked tree down, about 20 years back now. Loren

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
