I will make this a short story. I was born and raised for 4 short years on my maternal grandpa's farm. We raised dairy cows, farrowed sows, had lots of laying hens, raised ducks for meat also. We had 135 acres of land. My parents walked away from the farm when I was 4 years old in 1972. My mom said my dad and grandpa couldn't come to an agreement on how to transition the farm from generation to generation. Something with borrowing money from the bank. My grandpa didn't buy anything unless he had the cash. My dad wanted to borrow the money to farm, but grandpa said no. So my family moved to a 2.5 acre building site less than 10 miles from my homeplace. I always held some resentment to my parents about them not taking over the farm, until I was told about the transition situation. Needless to say, the farm site and some acreage was sold to a stranger and an old neighbor bought the other 120 acres tillable. So I finally bought my own little farm almost 15 years ago where I now raise beef cattle and have a few acres tillable. I would love to have more land, but unfortunately in today's economy that will never happen. I am happy to have the little farm I now have. At least I am part of the agriculture world. Even if I am only a tiny fraction of it. Kow Farmer (Kurt)

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
