I work for County Road Commission in MI. We each take care of a township and a quarter. We are expected by our management to plow all of our county roads both ways before dark of that day, unless we cant keep blacktop open, they always take priority. Hard to do in a township with few straight thru roads and numerous curves, you have to fly. Personally, I don't care if someone wants to plow a path before I get there, as long as they dont leave frozen hard chunks all over the road that I have to drive over. The ride is plenty jarring already lol. Most times its the farmers trying to help their neighbors get out, and I know the farmers in my territory, and a lot of the public, and they try to stay out of my way and not make a mess for me. Some of the farmers will even plow drift breaks with their big silage blades to help keep problem areas back. Here in MI, it is illegal to push snow across the road, but it doesn't bother me unless it is left in the road (happens more than you think), or it causes drifting in a drift prone road. But, if someone was to get hit, hurt, property damaged by a private individual on a public road, they'll be looking to own YOUR possessions. Therefore my employer strongly discourages people from working on the county roads with their own equipment for their own wellbeing. Ross

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
