I was in Montana in the mid-seventies. I met a man there that sent his daughter, on a tractor pulling a disc to the end of the main field. When she got to the end of the field she stopped and had lunch. That is how long the one field was. Ah good times.
Gotta be shopped.

Here, on the other side of the lake, it only takes a farmer to move one of those to totally cock up country road traffic.
ReplyDeleteNo problem. Give up eating, and that farmer will go out of business- and you won't be inconvenienced anymore.

ReplyDeleteI don’t believe it.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a lot of capital expense so that you don’t have to drive in circles.
Diesel is cheaper than combines.
