As a lifelong first responder, I truly appreciate your efforts to get training and equipment to first responder agencies. The public has the expectation that their responders can handle most anything. The reality is, that if we have not received training from people who understand these systems we are flying by the seat of our pants. Don't get me wrong, most fire fighters are exceptionally creative when required, but there are so many hazards in the modern world that no one can be expected to have knowledge of even half.

He would be proud of the advancement, and the enthusiasm today's farms have for the Big Green Machines. And having your son out there with you, we all can see how proud you must be.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and my late father used to teach me how to try and do new things with tools and machines.

[@larrylund2682]

When I was 10 years old we were still picking corn on the cob. Putting the cobs in lath cribs. There was no cab on the tractors. No heaters. There were no corn dryers. That is what the lath cribs were all about. Air dry. Also, these cribs fed the local rat populations. Discovery was when the cribs were opened up for corn shelling in spring time before planting time. Things sure have changed. That X9 would only take 2 hours to harvest our entire crop. The picker was a 2 row pull type Oliver brand, pulled by an Oliver Super 88. Makes me a little chilly just thinking about it. We were still picking corn nearly every Thanksgiving and most of the time in snow. This was only about an hour south of the Millennial farmer. Lac qui Parle county.

[@lfeco]

That's how we did it also when I was about 10. We had 2 G JD's but we used an Oliver 77 on our New Idea 2 row because it had live power where the G's didn't. The Oliver didn't have hydraulics so we had a ratchet thing where the cylinder would go on the picker to set the height. On a fairly good day we put up 2 triple cribs. These big combines would do that many bushels in 20 minutes.

[@timloveless5409]

I grew up in central Illinois with that same equipment. Dad would get 10 year old me in the wagon to level out the ear corn, it would drop out of the elevator and hid me in the head, darn that hurt. In 1962 or so we moved to shelled corn with a JD45 two row combine no cab of course. I remember my dad and our hired man taking turns running it with so many clothes on that they could hardly move. A good day would have us harvest 20 acres yielding 2000 bushels. When I was in college starting in 68 I used to hope against hope that corn harvest would be done before I was home for Thanksgiving.
