Yeah,I spent a week about 10 years ago running from Cherokee,Ia to Iowa City,and there was only a place to eat at Iowa City,and a little truck stop somewhere between there then and if you didnt get to that truck stop or Iowa City by I think 5 pm you didnt get much to eat.I wouldnt want to try and spend a week doing that now,most likely junk food is all you can get.As a matter of fact anything that has to do with agriculture has just gone further and further downhill.Maybe those people that only buy at Wal Mart will quit shopping there when they get a good job that pays them better.I didnt really know how messed up things are untill I got sick,and havent been able to work for about a year,in and out of the hospital 4 times,got so broke that if it cost a penny more someplace else,I had to buy at WalMart.Wal Mart aint cheap,and its not good stuff either most usually,but sometimes you dont have anything else to choose from.If you have to work at a factory or something and the price of fuel jumps up and down all the time more people are going to move to the city.Its sad.I did see a lot of this coming,and used to get mad about it,now Im just numb.If everybody would stand up,at the same time,and say we are not going to put up with it any more,it would get fixed.Otherwise you might go to Wal Mart one day and not be able to afford anything they sell,there might not be a grocery store in your town,you might not even have a job,and you better hope you dont get sick,cause you cant afford to go to the doctor now.Now that the country is messed up a lot of what we recognize as America is gone.Its turned into backstabia or something,and it will be worse than Mexico if people dont wake up.

I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
