I wouldn't trade my 96' F250 4wd with a powerstroke for any of that newer stuff. No emissions to rob power and burn extra fuel. It has 275,000 miles on it. Aside from the usual wear parts it has been very trouble free. It is my wood hauler each weekend, (has f450 springs front and rear), it is my daily driver to work, 25 miles each day now (sometimes 2-3 times in 24 hours in winter), used to drive it 90 miles roundtrip to work for years. I have never been easy on it, and my buddy that I bought it from hauled a trailer from MI to AZ once a month for the first decade of its life. If you drive it responsibly it will get 22 mpg in summer and 18 in winter, pretty good for a 6500 pound truck. The way I usually drive it, with my foot on the floor, it will do 15-17 mpg. It is also my tractor hauler and log hauler on the weekends. Just a week ago I deleted the pictures off my phone of the old truck with our 25' gooseneck with numerous different loads of logs with 20,000+ lbs from this summer. Best thing is, I can do my own repairs, and I do. Going to need some injector o-rings soon, but that's not asking for much for as bad as I have treated it. Where I work there is 4 freightliner trucks less than 2 years old, all are loaded with emissions reduction equipment, and last year during one of the worst winters in 20 years, there was never more than 2 that were running at once. These were the trucks supposed to be keeping the state highways open. A couple times there was only 1 that wasn't down with some sort of electrical or emissions failure. Try plowing snow with an engine derated to 25% of its normal power. Meanwhile, my 15 year old Sterling never let me down. You can have those overpriced new trucks.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
