56 is a year for me and my family, as my mother said, it was the year of the funerals. Long and short my Dad bought my Grandfather's 100 acres from his estate for I believe 20,000 dollars less the house which was for my uncle's widow and children. Interesting how in that time if you look at prices, a tractor was worth as much as a farm almost. And in that sense things aren't that much different. I've been a single parent since 06, even with the 13 years before that, do you think I could afford anything new?Taking care of two, not my own and two that are. My parents with 9 children, one with very special needs died in 57. I was playing in the dug out ditch by the driveway, 9 yrs old and down the road Dad came with a dexta 2000 and freeman loader brand new diesel in 61. In 63 Dad had his first mew car, it had to have had the blessing of my mom as it held everyone, a 63 Dodge station wagon with a flip seat in the back facing rearwards. It was in ensuing years known as the white rino,named by high school friends. Slant six and automatic transmission. I believe the price of the rino was 2300$ new. Seems he could afford those things with a stay at home woman, not that she didn't have anything to do and was paying on a 100 acres not to say what was to pay on the 50 acres where I live. I'd say there is money in farming if you are able to manage your pennies. These days it's insurance will keep farms afloat. Doesn't hurt to have a woman who makes enough you can live on, and farm as an expense and to build equity. Good lord said that it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom.I should be respectful of what I ask for, sermon is over.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
