After reading all the negative comments about RFD-TV and old Ray I feel compelled to put my two cents worth in. First of all each one of us are partial to one brand or another. Personally I like several brands myself. Over the years I have farmed with IH, Ford, and Deere’s, but I love to look and hear about them all. I don’t think that any one brand should dominate and I think that is why I am not a big Deere fan. Yes they seem to have survived the tractor wars of the twentieth century and they do make a great product but there are just too many of them. I know some of the reasons so many are being restored is because of the availability of parts and the sheer numbers of tractors out there but give me a IH W9 or Ford 861 or a Allis WD 45 or even a Case 930 and I am much more likely to spend more time looking that them. It’s interesting to see how diverse the engineering was and yet similar in some ways. As far as old Ray, my sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Mr., Wilkinson. I did not know that he passed away either. He was as different as there are brands of tractors. Even I know that hosts of most shows have very little to do with there content. He was an ambassador to the farming community and should be remembered for his contributions over his live and not ridiculed for his ageing appearance. Now for RFD-TV itself. With all the crap that is on the tube these day’s it is a real breath of fresh air to have a station that you could have on all day (not that I could stand it) and not have to see some kind of death, or violence pumped into our living room. I can’t agree more with the guy’s that there is way too much horse stuff but I am grateful for the few tractors and machinery shows that they do air. Tell me one other station that is willing to air these kinds of shows to such a small audience with very little attraction to advertisers. Anyway that’s my two cents worth.

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
