do you REALLY want to know where this comes from ?HONESTLY? It comes quite simply from, lots of times,young acting like they know it all! try this,honestly im being serious here. That "old guy" offers you advice ,try THANKING him instead of arguing with him. Right, wrong, dumbest thing you ever heard,doesnt matter.Simply thank him and go your way.what hes telling you probably worked for him for 70 years. and it must have worked or he wouldnt still be around. Doesnt mean you have to "DO" it,but it surely doesnt hurt to show some respect. I hear all the time,some young person saying "your disrespecting me". they dont know you got earn respect,its a not something you automatically get. Its sort of funny,I never had one single problem with those so called "old timers",big time operators,whatever. Ive been in the field broke down a few times,baling hay or trying to get a crop in,looked up and one of those old guys would be pulling in the gate with his equipment and crew to help you finish. He might rant and rave about if you had done this or that you wouldnt have these problems. He might even cuss you out for not doing like he told you, but all the time he's helping. You could run him off,or you could just say thank you when he offers his hand,buy him and his wife dinner if you see them out. its funny and hard to understand sometimes, but the old guys do respect the young folks coming up trying to farm,thats why we leave our farms to our kids or grandkids. But very few of us grew up like young folks did now days. most of us if we talked to our parents like young folks do nowdays would have been literally backhanded accross the room ,MY dad would have simply hit you between the eyes with a single tree, and walked away. We grew up in a time of real NIEGHBORS and we did things different,you cannot imagine HOW different.Did we like all those neighbors,NO WAY, but they were still nieghbors.in a lot of ways thats gone now.and folks dont even know whos living next door. think about this before you start ragging on one of those old guys at the coffee shop next time,five minutes of your time listening to the same story for the 20th time,doesnt hurt you. Might help you out though in the middle of the night sometimes,when your combine breaks and that old guy tells you to come get his. Might just save your cattle when he tells you he has some old hay you can have. OF course you COULD argue with him,get mad when he tells you how to operate,fight and fuss and holler because hes "disrespecting you" also.. maybe he'll respect you simply because you can holler louder,never can tell...

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
