As Paul says, Amen to that. A couple of days ago I entered a coffee shop I frequent, and I was carrying an article from YT under my arm. It was titled, "Grain Threshing in the Early 40's" by Pat Browning. (The reason I took it to the coffee shop was because the story took place about 10 miles from here; I wanted to show it around.) One of the patrons was a local farmer, in his fifties like me, who runs a modern, 1000+ acre farming operation. Lots of land, lots of livestock, lots of equipment--as you say, Hugh, all the bells and whistles. He looked at the title of the article, smiled ironically, and said, "You know, I think we might have been better off back then." I told him, being a farmer and actually living the life today, he had just said a mouthful. More the pity. Yes, I KNOW you can't turn back time. But sometimes yesterday holds lessons and methods that we ought to have the wisdom to listen to and follow today. I guess a lot of us here try to do that, which is why I think this forum is so important. Take care.
