The amount of time and energy you put into striving to get better yields for your families farm is so commendable. I know the whole crew works hard, but sometimes the ag science of the plants is harder than the maintenance. And I don't say that lightly because I know Coop works his tail off behind the scenes more than we see. All the stress of planting, compaction, erosion, being a new dad etc is nothing to how stressed grandma Judy made me trying to change that battery lol. God bless all the corn star fam!

Cole, place the blower so that the blower end is on the ground and the blower motor is up next to you. Then press down on the battery as if you were installing it, while pressing down on it actuate the battery release, then the battery will release. I had to figure an easier way to get the battery off of my blower too. Hope this helps.

I was thinking. My ggg grandparents started farming in Michigan in 1835. Some started in 1870. One thing they all had in common was horses and livestock. They didn't pay property taxes. Yet, all were very successful. All worked hard. This appears in the 1919 "Farm Journal Illustrated Rural Directory Of Genesee County, Michigan" by Bricker, and showed my g grandfather was farming 80 acres. The family had 6 horses and 7 cows. He had built his barn in 1905. What is the difference between today's huge multi-million dollar farmer and those from over 100 years ago?

@colorado1088 Жыл бұрын

A big difference maybe was the old timers minimized debt.

@fastsetinthewest Жыл бұрын

@@colorado1088 I think you're onto one good point. My grandfather farmed near his father and also owned an Allis Chalmers tractor dealership. He would take trades on horses for tractors. He had $675,000.00 in a bank account in 1936. He was no fan of FDR.
