I have been thinking and wondering if this is the case in other parts of the country. The local Deere dealers came together and formed a new dealer corporation about 8 years ago or so. None of these dealers to my knowledge have had John Deere Day in about 5 - 6 years. Is this just our local dealers or is it all over the country something that dealers have gotten away from? It was something I always enjoyed going to as a kid and as I got older and worked for the dealer in high school and college (before and after the corporation was formed). Everyone would come in and have bbq pork and chicken with fixings. The shop would be cleaned out and there would be a movie that played throughout the day showing off Deere's newest equipment. The owner and store manager always got up and made a speach and thanked everyone for their business. I know in some areas they may have less farmers now than they did even 5 years ago. When I worked there I know there were a few people who you didn't come in any other time of the year and they would be there when the free food came in. The local dealerships now are nothing like they were when the former owners were running them for sure. They don't seem to care if you buy from them or not and what kind of service they provide to you. I know this is the case with a lot of big corporations. I'm sorry for the long post. I am jsut wondering if there are still dealers in other parts of the country that still have a John Deere Day like what we use to have here in middle Tennessee and north Alabama.

Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
