I shoulda quit in 1988 or 2015...... won't ever have years like those 2. 1988 was so dry no weeds grew, harvest was low and early so it was like a vacation year, crop prices were high and I stumbled into a crop that grew well and the price jacked up, so it was like a vacation year, no work, same or better income. 2015 was a perfect weather year, from early spring to late fall, very little heavy rains, only one brief dry period, crops were level and even and full from the top of the clay knobs to the bottom of the wet peat sloughs every week the weather was perfect.

He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
