Oh tell me about SLOW John Deeres and the road. This house hold has been involved in Girl scouts for around 35 years and counting . Back when the girls were little the wife became a troupe leader and dear old DAD worked in the back ground . As they got older they wanted to make a float for the parade each year . Ok fine , i barrow a couple nice hay wagons from my friends and i will barrow my Accountant's one 530 John Deere and my S/MTA to pull them . First year we put the floats together at the shop five miles out of town . (first mistake ) The day of the big event everything is ready and we have our assigned spots in line . I know the Deer is SLOW so i drive it in first (god a guy could fall asleep on it ) With only two places to pull off to allow traffic to pass i got a lot of being #1's from people when i could pull off . It was starting to get windy and this was not helping the decorations . BUT the girls could fix it easy. then we went back to get the S/MTA to save the decorations we wrapped the whole wagon with a tarp and set sail . The MTA is turned up to 2000 RPM and is setting on 16.9x38's and on the road she can run at around 28 MPH . Once the peraide was over at the west end of town everybody and everything looked like rat deserting a sinking ship , All the little girls meet there familys at the one small strip plazza and my one friend and it took the wagons to the op-en lot near the house and stripped the stuff off then headed back to the shop . Just five miles I went ahead and got to the shop and WAITED and WAITED and NO John Deere . I though maybe he broke down , so i grabbed a chain and off i go with the MTA to drag him back to the shop . I was a third of the way back to town when i see him coming over top of the one hill with a line of cars behind him probable stretching back to the city limits . I cut off the one dirt side road and went east then south and back west covering about three miles and still beat him back to the shop. . The next year we built the floats in the back yard and i hauled the tractors in to town on the trailer.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Corn in Southern Wisconsin: The Early Years - by Pat Browning. In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
