Hog feeder lids!
I remember my brother and his family visiting from Buffalo, NY. At breakfast, they were all red eyed, and asked how in the H*** we ever got any sleep around there with all that racket. Wife and I couldn't figure out what they were talking about until they got into the details. I told them that every time they heard a lid bang, it was another nickel profit, and it made me sleep very well. That was in the 70's of course. When we got into the eighties, every lid bang was a nickel loss, ha.
During my young years, you could step outside on a clear quiet night and hear feeder lids banging from every direction. I don't think there's a hog within 20 miles of here now.
I'm an old JD fan, but I always enjoyed hearing my neighbor plowing with his IH M. It was a sweet sounding tractor. And my other neighbor to the west - a mile away - I remember the evening his 730 JD diesel developed a loose flywheel. I could hear it knocking at that distance. That old 730 is still sitting in his shed.
Nowadays, my wife will say, "What was that noise?" It kinda aggravates me, altho I don't let her know. "What noise - I didn't hear anything." I wish I had worn those ear plugs that they gave us when I was young.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. 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
