You guys that have retired from farming,I know it was cumulative over the years,but I'm guessing that there was a "last straw" that finally made you quit. What was it?
Had one neighbor that finally quit over a hay rake. Said that if he had to farm with junk like that,he was all done. Another guy just to the west stopped about 6 weeks ago and said that he was looking the chopper over to start filling silo and decided it wasn't going to make it through the season,so the cows were going down the road and they had found somebody to work the ground next year and were having an auction in the spring.

A nice view of the mountains off the front porch sure would be a nice change of pace and a whole lot easier on the nerves.

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
