Hey Jim, a visit would be welcome. Have to arrange in advance, to be sure we are home. We are west of Lindsay about 20 miles, more or less. If you looked at a map, and followed Hwy 7 west out of Lindsay to Hwy 46, then 5 miles north to Woodville. Our home farm actually boarders on the south side of the village of Woodville. I remember going past Maberly while driving on 7. It is true, people with a few extra bucks, that no longer have to live near Toronto, are scrambling to get away. I know Toronto quite well, and the constant waves of immigration have and are changing the population base and culture of the city of Toronto.. I don’t know how to say this without being branded a racist, but while east on our little trip, we became very aware of the lack of folks that would be called visible minority. When we go into the big smoke, I am a visible minority, ha ha. One thing that has become much more common everywhere, is the change in farming. As you mentioned about less Dairy and more corn and soybeans. Just fewer, but bigger Dairy farms. And big dairy means total confinement, and requires high quality land to grow big crops of forage. And it just doesn’t work well on farms with more hills, and thin top soil. On a farm with some hills, you can pasture milk cows on the slopes, and crop the level. Works well with 30-40 cows. Not going to happen with 100-250 cows. And I am seeing this transition around me too. Hard to find anyone that wants to work that hard anymore.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
