Good and bad.

      With a machine shop on main street it's hard to hide. When something goes wrong there are witnesses. Embarrassment follows, but that's indication of undue pride. So, that's the bad side.

    Now for the good. Why did Micky decide to drive his tractor with a loader to visit the butcher shop today? Just as there was need of some serious lifting he exited the butcher shop, mounted his tractor and drove across the street to give me a lift. Had the problem occurred in the field where would help be found? Then a farmer, Tim, exited the bank supplied the muscle and know-how that was needed. Yes, the good far out weighs the bad!  

   Harvest news: One of the BTOs has harvested some large cornfields in spite of high moisture corn. Why? The drought has made corn susceptible to ear drop. The corn plant, under stress from the lack of moisture, channeled its energy into the ear of corn away from the corn stalk. The stalks are fragile allowing ears to fall to the ground and thus be lost.  So the choice is harvest wet or lose ears. 

Takk for alt,
