Cell phones are getting to be a huge problem in the workplace and homes. I hire a lot of 20-30ish general laborers on my ranch to do general labor. When I hire them part of their inbrief deals with cell phone usage and smoking policy as I pay by the hour. Normally it is not a big issue as I supervise and work with them so I can monitor their usage but it has been a huge issue if I'm not there to supervise. Most if not all of the cell phone usage is gibberish or nonsense texting with very little actual useful info dealing with important or time sensitive issues. I encourage my workers to save their texting for their work breaks as I will not pay them to talk on the phone. I don't pay minimum wage...I actually pay double the minimum wage with free lunch at a buffet as I don't hire unskilled workers. For construction work or projects, I require a competitive bid as I want nothing to due with by the hour workers. I pay my stacking hay crews by the bale and let their boss figure out the cell phone usage as he wants to maximize his pay and no bales get stacked if they are on the phone. I have a no alcohol policy and no smoking within 50 ft of the barns and machinery. I think smart phones are more addictive than nicotine and alcohol, I still use a flip phone so I guess I am still a dinosaur. Probably will get a smart phone soon just so I can get instant weather reports, watch the stock market, and search for equipment of "tractorhouse" and maybe even get a sports update on the weekends. I actually feel sorry for all the zombies who are trapped in the smart phone web. JMHO

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
