George, most of the time the road graders are set up with a V blade and a wing. They use the regular blade for lighter snow and the V for drifts with the wing knocking the now from either blade into the ditch.
Up here in West MN we haven't had the amounts of snow like they did in East and Southern MN. But we have in the past and the few farmers that are left here may or may not help out. The BTO dairy guys really don't have the time with 400 or more cow herds. The Beef guys and grain farmers will be out helping neighbors as needed.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
