In our area (Mid-mich) there are quite a few women actively involved in the farming process. Every trip I make to the elevator, I see several women driving everything from tractors pulling gravity wagons, to straight trucks to semis to tandem trailers. Many are also operating combines. I remember about 20 years ago I attended the farm science review at Ohio State University, where there are dealers and factory reps for every type of equipment related to farming. each manufacturer had combines doing corn and bean harvesting demonstrations, and while most were being operated by factory reps or dealer salesmen, Massey ferguson had women operators who were farm trained with many hours logged as combine operators. The sales reps followed along behind the combines with the peanut gallery, and as the Massey Ferguson women consistantly our performed there male counterparts, the sales reps played to the male ego in all of us, and kept hammering home the underlying theme that "if a woman can accomplish this much with a combine, and it is easy to see that our machine outperforms the competition, imagine what you could do with one of our machines". Chauvinists that we men can be, many were quick to credit the machine, rather than the experience of the woman operator over the bumbling of a sales rep who was in all probability the furthest thing from a combine operator. Having said that, I do think women make great combine operators as they stay focused and do not become easily bored. They also take great pride in doing a good job. Now if the thing breaks down, they may or may not be able to fix it.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
