He's 30. He has a good job and quite a reputation building high performance engines. He does even does work for people in other countries. One of the few people that can make a high performance Olds hold together,gets them from Canada now and then even. Has done stuff for Swiss Grand Prix. Had a guy from Sweden here last fall hunting,has an invitation to go over there moose hunting in the fall. He's going to Mexico in May. I don't know why on Gods green earth he thinks he wants to farm. Seems to be just because before my Dad passed away,he told my son that he'd always thought he'd farm the place someday,so now it's stuck in his craw. Flat out,he's just not ready yet to quit what he's doing. Yes,there are 2 other kids. An older daughter,married with 2 kids,and a younger son. I had offered the place to the younger boy just before we sold the dairy cattle. He was still milking with me and I'd absolutely had enough of that. Offered to sell him the cattle,then the farm after the cows were paid for,but he said he'd stay and help me as long as I wanted him to,but it wasn't what he wanted to do the rest of his life. Said not to keep them on his account,he'd just as soon go get a job. He's a machinist too now. My daughter said to get enough life insurance to help offset the whole thing so she and the younger boy would get something if Jon got the farm,but that much life insurance is out of the question premium wise. So,I guess I'll have to tough it out for a while. Worst part is,I'm being a hypocrite already. After that scare when I thought I was going to loose a big chunk of rented ground,I told myself I wasn't going to complain. I was just going to be darned grateful that I had enough ground to work to make a living.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
