I farmed a field for many years. I always pastured the upper half of the field. The land owner died and his kids sold the land. A local BTO bought it. The first thing he did was take all the fences out. Then he went in with a deep ripper to make that upper ground grow good crops. (BTO talking at the local Coop) Well about fifty feet into the old pasture he got to spend a lot of money!!! He hit the limestone layered rock that is only maybe 8-10 inches under 50% of that upper part of the field. He was going so fast that the ripper did not trip all of the shanks fast enough and he bent the main frame on the ripper. He found out why that part of the field had been pasture for over 60 years.

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
