I'm 47 yrs. young, I was born about 20yrs. late. I'm the Operations Supervisor for the City of Boulder's Wastewater Treatment Facility. I've loved the Red tractors since I was a kid. My father was a part time farmer, worked a full time job and also had one or two milk cows, chickens, horses and sheep. In my teens I couldn't wait to get away from my fathers rinky-dink farm operation quick enough. Joined the Air Force and spent 6 yrs. in California before I realize that I really missed that rinky-dink farm. I returned from California to Colorado and got involved with helping my father with his operation. He still lives on his small farm but is unable to do any of it, he's had 3 strokes in the last 4 yrs. which have him slowed down pretty much. I, like my father did, now run a part time farm operation, on his farm, with some beef cattle. This gives my father great enjoyment watching and talking with me as I work on the equipment during the winter time repairs. At the prestent I'm replacing the torque amplifier in my SMTA. I use my Farmalls for putting up hay for my livestock and for family and friends. I have a 1953 Farmall Cub, a 1954 Farmall SMTA, a 1955 Farmall 200, a 1955 Farmall 300 and a 1956 Farmall 400. All of our hay equipment is New Holland, I even have my uncles first baler a 1948 NH 80 wire tie. Like I said I was born 20 yrs. to late but then I wouldn't have this computer to listen to all of the flip flap going on around the country or had found all the nice folks out there that I have met in my tractor journies. Take care all and say a prayer for the families the latest space shuttle tragety. Ernie Bob

Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
