Re: farmboy at work
looks nice!
I was born in Waverly. Have 140 acres outside of Ft. Dodge. most of my family still farms up there....last count they had just over 2,000 acres they were doing....In fact they just recently bought back the land that our great granddad lost in the depression.
Always have at least 1 St. Bernard hangin around as well!

Re: farmboy at work
Looks alot like the farm I grew up on in Indiana. Funny how you miss the Hog and Cattle feeder noise at 0200 sometimes. Many a wet spring tractors worked 24/7. If the wind for hearing them was wrong, you could still find them to swap out drivers via their glowing exhaust, or the fender mounted Radio humming a tune from WLS or WJJD in Chicago 120 miles away.

Re: farmboy at work
Ours were JI.Case, the first was a wide front DC then came a 8n ford, 530 case, then the first 5 bottom rig an 830 Case. Got the hots for big and stepped up to a eight bottom 1170. Pushed some ditch's closed, opened up all the gates, an never looked back.
Loved it so much only time we went to town was for a hair cut, once a month. Either working or hunting an fishing, all week long. If it was too wet for anything it was girl time. Nothing beats rain on a barn's tin roof, the smell of fresh cut hay, and naked girls.
Oh to be young again!
Learned more about everything on that farm,...

Re: farmboy at work
Good to see another Iowa boy on the Hide. It's a nice time of year here, and we've had a good run of weather for harvest. Better yet, the corn south of us went to silage, so it was out early, and now the rifle range is open!

Re: farmboy at work
This year is turning out to be a awesome. All the corn and beans are dry no need to put them in the dryer and prices are pretty high. So whether you wanted to save or cash in now there is a nice profit. We are combining 12hr days and just hauling loads into town. im gonna ask my gf's dad for a loan with the way things are goin lol
