Steve,, I am from the greater K.C. area, Last week end I had to go across the state of Missouri to get my seed corn. I was amazed at what I saw on I70! The only full sized pick up trucks on the road were working, either pulling some sort of work trailer or loaded in the back, the only trucks that I saw were company owned, with the exception of 2 indepent truckers, one camper, pulled with a dually, no suv, but a lot of new small cars and I mean small, this was within a 150 miles going and coming.. To add to that this was the only time my full size pick up has been driven, since harvest time.. This fuel thing is killing everone in my area, for the first time in years commuter lots are full and you can not get a seat on a bus.. That being said, this is what has been needed for a long time, but it is hard to break the oil companies out when they have billions of dollars of our money. Last week I heard on ABC radio news that the ceo of I believe Exxon oil got a 22 million dollar bonus..and If that does not equate into a royal screwing I will pay for lying! So what do we do, darned if I know, but if anyone comes up with a good idea I will do my best to go along with it, up till then you can color me a fuel squeezer, any way I can get the job done! Instead of filling my farm tanks full I have just gotten what I think will get me by, I bought a hay rake that is twice the size of my old one, I have tuned every gas tractor that I use so I can lean them out on light work, double checked the air in all the tractor and equipment tires, jerked off every muffler and run straight pipes, repacked and adjusted wheel bearings, if I have missed something please let me know, I am all about fuel conservation, and at these prices any one who is not is a Fool!!!

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
