One thing not mentioned yet is that many 2 cycle engines call for higher octane gas than the basic 87 octane ethanol/gas . I mix 2 cycle gas with ethanol free 91 octane gasoline and fuel stabilizer and have had no problems with anything since doing so. I have had to replace some fuel lines on older things like an older chain saw and a weed eater which had fuel line issues shortly after using the ethanol blend gas for mixing (before ethanol free gas was offered around here). The cost of the ethanol free gas is very close to the higher octane ethanol blend gas here and only talking about maybe 4 gallons a year for mixed gas so the cost is not worth worrying about to me. I do use the 87 octane ethanol blend gas in my garden tractors and older/ antique gas engine farm tractors and haven�t had any problems with them although I have noticed that the ethanol gas tends to clean up older varnish in carburetors so some people may have had a dirty fuel system when the switch was made. Now you got me thinking� maybe that is part of the problem I had with the Holley carburetor on my 4000 Ford a few years back.

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
