I needed a little therapy. Haven't started it since maybe December 2023. About 4 cranks and she fired up.

These F-20's were one of my grandpa's passions. He grew up using them before his dad bought the first H (in the background). He started buying F-20s in the mid 80's, around the time I came along, probably why I love them too. Hope to pass the passion along to the next generation.

Rain finally got one of my hay fields last night. Looks like it's about to get me again this morning. Today may be a maintenance day after having bad dreams about a tractor getting water in the oil...

Guys, it's been 5 years since I've bought a tractor. I'm starting to get the itch again...

Just seen a spray drone hanging from a power line 😬

Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

This would get split up in 5 acre lots and sell for for 85,800 each!

It always looks so nice after cutting. Have been carrying on with some second cutting even though first isn't done yet. The last fields of first cutting are the ones farthest away from home, and at this point, a couple more weeks isn't really going to hurt the quality of it.

Another piece of Purdue is nothing more than a memory. So much has changed in the last 17 years since I graduated.

This almost 40 year old jumped off a hay wagon tonight to retrieve a fallen bale. Landed fine, but about 4 steps in, I twisted my ankle and dropped to the ground. Baled another 70 bales after that to finish the wagon!

Who the f--- making meatloaf or whatever that was with hardboiled eggs rolled up in it?

Just cleaned their water tank out. They act like they haven't had a drink of water in days. Bad thing about a float is the water never really gets freshened up.

Let's talk about Ohio for a minute... Weren't they real wet like Indiana and planting went super late, yet they have 200,000 more acres of corn than expected???

Guy messages me about straw squares I have for sale. Asks about discounts for large quantity. I didn't really bale enough to discount any large quantity, only like 160 total. He wants 36. I said I can get him that. He asks me if it's still the normal price. YES!

Why isn't he rinsing the cup and sitting it by the coffee maker for the next round?

My kid has been learning to drive my antique Farmalls recently. He got to take the JD 3020 PowerShift for a spin this afternoon. Looks like I'm about to start going through a lot more fuel!

Time's running short, I need to buy a corn head yet 😬

I couldn't have seeded a stand of Buckhorn Plantain as thick as this. Honestly not sure why it got so thick, it's supposed to be fescue!

I wouldn't complain if every field looked like this for me.
