Folks ask for assistance and then unwilling to share in the costs. An acquaintence of ours just bought 6 acres of brush property. Asked for prices to have land cleared and refused all for a variety of reasons. Asked me to look at it. I agreed to do "what I could" (veryyy brushy) with the following understanding. My Costs for sawing, weed whacking & bush hog services a) No labor, just sweet tea & supper for ea. day's work
b) fuel for the tractor
c) saw gas for whatever sawing/weed wacking I would need to do (cut trails to see)
d) I pay 50% for any damages I cause to his place
e) He pay 50% for any damages I cause to his place
f) He pay 50% for any damages done to my equip, I pay the other 50%
g) clear enough to get a lay off the land to decide next steps All started well and we found the survey monuments. Now we had a lay of the land and also understanding of how to navigate 10' drainage ditch running thru the property. Supper could've been better but HEY! Now then on Sunday I was debating fishing or tractor driving. I chose to do some more tractor work. . Well, I found out some interesting things
a) Sugar sand (fine) is as bad as mud
b) somehow yanked my bush hog A-frame apart (busted weld)
c) A man's word is not the best policy Needless to say I am out cost for the repair ($30) and he wants to return and "finish" the job. He cannot move his mobile home in until I get the land "cleared" and I am his delay. Grrr. . . Given his actions Sunday he may get me coming over with my backhoe and knock it all down, push it in a pile, cut the black jack for my BBQ, and burn what's left. Irks me when you try to help out and get burned . . .

On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
