Big A, I know the sentiment you're talking about.
About 20-25 years ago my Grand dad retired from
the farm, built the house I'm in now and gave the
farm to my uncle in exchange for building this
house for him. My uncle went behind everyone's
back in 1998 and sold the farm with 127 acres
without letting anyone in the family know. I had
offered to buy it about four months earlier for
more money and was refused. The current owner is
an ignorant hateful man who has let the place
degrade to where it's not worth anything now. He
took the cattle stanchions out and the barn has
many pieces of roofing and siding blown off with
no repairs at all. I bought this house four years
ago after my granddad passed away. It's on a four
acre piece on the corner of the old farm and I
have to look at the mess over there everyday. It
angers me sometimes but mostly it just breaks my
heart to see it. I wish I could somehow buy it
back and rebuild it to what it was when I used to
spend all my weekends and summers working the farm
with my Grampy . I learned what little I know from
him and learned to drive his old H and my Great
Uncles Super C. It was hard work but it gave me a
sense of respect for what work really was.

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D ... [Read Article]
