Hi Bill, We had a grand day today. Just absolutely fell in love with the owners of the farm. Come to find out, is only 8 or so miles down the road from the farm where I was hatched and I kinda knew the area anyway. So, the wife (being the learned one from St. Louis) is yanking her checkbook out and wants this place and wants it right now. She is having visions of calling the cattle buyer and ordering a pot of calves. I finally and somewhat diplomatically got her into the car and out of the yard without writing a down payment. She is looking at me like she would like to rip my arms off and stuff 'em down my throat and I tell her, "Please listen to me on this one, Sweet pea; you know the family business, but I know dirt and this just isn�t all it seems". The farm is an irrigator's worst nightmare; However, I can handle that trip tho, 'cause I'm used to it. I can live with the tough irrigating as it has more than enough acres under water rights and another fair chunk of dry land. The killer is that the place has roughly 80 or 90 acres of pure alkaline wasteland on one quarter, which the owner is calling prime; trouble is, it won�t grow a bloody thing. Yes, I�d like to have the place, but we are going to have to make some major changes in the bottom line of the paperwork before I�ll agree. I gotta talk to the real estate agent on Monday, I guess. Told ya I was kinda �picky�. :>) Allan

Today's Featured Article -
Tractor Implements and Their Use - by Curtis Von Fange. Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
