My area south of Tacoma, used to be timber and farms. Nowadays it is mostly small 5 to 10 acre hobby places with mostly horses. These folks work day jobs, and comute 1/2 to 1 1/2hours every day. most of them were city dwellers, who finally bought their dream home in the country. I put up a good Illinois type woven wire fence, with 2 strands of barb on top, around my perimiter, and started neighbors wanting a simular fence, instead of their elect white ribbons, on cheap steel stakes I get a lot of requests to build field fence, and do cross fencing.My AC B has a posthole digger on it, and I will dig their holes with it, but they have to set and tamp the posts. I will roll out the wire, with my 3 pt wire tool, and show them how to fasten wire to the end posts, streach the wire, an staple properly. I ask $40 per hour, actual working time, and except for some gasoline, the only overhead in the last 3 yrs has been one PTO U joint. Fencing was something my people took for granted, and I had no Idea, that not every one knows how! I raise 3 calves a yr, which takes care of the grass, that I used to mow, and gives me a little feeder calf money in the fall. I do occasional bush hog mowing in the area, and don't hold anyone up on labor.I had a guy in my road assn, observe me spreading chicken poo on my pasture, and asked the wife if I could come over and spread his big pile of horse poo, on his 8 acres. I got to figgure out how much to charge him, I have never thought about spreading manure, and it will also require the minnie and loader.

For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
