After reading all these posts it's apparent few if any of the respondents have actually seen an air ambulance land to pick up a victim. Where I work on the S.E. corner of the Des Moines metro we frequently have helicopters land on the road to meet ambulances from small communities to avoid rush hour traffic in DSM. Before the helicopter actually lands, it circles several times before landing. Having ridden in a helicopter before, unless its dark, it's easy to see where you're going and landing. The pilot ultimately decides where to land and is in communication with the ground crew. Very poor judgment on the pilot's behalf. The private hospitals own the choppers here. Broad Lawns (Polk county owned) doesn't have one. As far as horse people go, they don't impress me at all. When Platts Nursery in the middle of Waterloo Ia closed, a couple of horse people bought the 20 acre parcel and called a meeting of all of the residential adjoining land owners and informed them that an old city ordinance allowed them to have up to 80 horses. They planned to basically have a horse farm to provide boarding to anyone citing that they had to drive about 20 miles to Raymond and it was just too far. They would probably have between 20 to 30 horses on average. When Dad stood up and asked "What about the manure and the smell?" they said their horses weren't just any kind of horse, they were Arabians and wouldn't stink. Thankfully, the city told them they could have their 80 horses, but they must be THEIR horses. No boarding. They do have 3 horses last I knew. About half of the property was sold off and 3 high dollar homes have been built.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
