I wish all of these environmental nuts would go back where ever they came from. It's funny to think that the majority of them have no idea that the states used to use oil to keep dust down on the road (why isn't every old road bed declaired a hazardous waste site if it was so bad?), don't have a clue how things like open chains, gears, etc get greased/oiled, and most have no idea how much oil their own vehicles can and do leak. I guess we'll just have to educate them one at a time when the opportunity arises........
Agree 100%. The thing that has me scratching my head is that everyone I talk to or read on forums like this agrees that the environmental lobby is wacko and that, in general, we have lost our common sense when it comes to the environment. The tree-huggers are a small, vocal minority, yet it seems that our politicians give them undue attention. I'd love to see nuclear power plants built in every state to provide clean electric power. Instead, we're focused on wind turbines and solar panels that only are practical when coupled with heavy government subsidies (OUR MONEY). I guess I'd like to see a politician run for office somewhere, stand up and give the finger to the environmental lobbies. I bet they would be elected anywhere in the country (except for San Francisco and environs, LOL).

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
