Darn it people, this is out of hand! If anyone would re-read my original post there would be nothing to complain about... Does anyone here remember the dirty 30's?? I doubt it. That happened because people broke up all of the praries to farm and left no grass, no trees, nothing but dirt. Without grass and trees the whole of the earth would wash into the ocean. EROSION is a big problem. EROSION is the reason for CRP. All of the CRP in my area is either a hill that washes away by rain, sand that blows away in the wind, or simply just a alkali mud hole. All of these will be problems if you try to farm them. CRP takes this land out of production and PROTECTS us from having another of the dirty 30's. IF you don't believe me, we have not had rain since spring and it is VERY dry here, but there isn't much dirt blowing because all of the sand was put into grass and that grass is holding the dirt in place. A LOT of this sand that was seeded to grass was a result of the CRP program. The people who have a hobby farm and just use antique equipment or smaller equipment and have a job in town have NO idea how hard it is to be a farmer and rely on that for your sole income. Without CRP this year we would be having an auction sale. Do you people have any idea how it feels to put your heart and soul, blood, sweat, and tears into a crop to watch it dry up in 110 degree heat??? Hobby farmers don't have a clue because there is always a paycheck coming from that job in town. Anyone have a problem with what I said, email me, this board is cluttered up with enough garbage already. If you don't like the government, then change it, you have the right to vote, you also have the right to leave the country too. Steven

Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
