    Country Clipper Mower

    My dad has one, going on 4 years now. After an exhaustive search on his part, he finally choose the Country Clipper. He has used 2 or 3 different brands/colors and really likes his Clipper. He has always used a garden tractor style mower in the past but it took 5+ hours to mow around the farm...

    planting corn up north

    I live in Rochester and went on a road trip yesterday to Albert Lea on I-90. I saw three fields planted in corn, 2 planters in the field, 1 on the way, and a couple of tractors finishing field work.

    Wagon photos

    Dean, Always a great job on your wagons!! Can you tell me again what you used to treat the wood on the JD/Heider barge wagon? I like the medium brown color more than the blonde color, maybe that is just the way the wood took it. The Heider box I have was already done and the guy told me he...

    Wagon photos

    OT: pig house/barn

    My dad has a Lester's 30x60 finishing hog barn that has been in use since 1979 until about 6-7 years ago. The building is in good shape, stainless steel feeders with extensions, newer gates and pit fans. I received an inquiry about the buying the building "lock, stock, and barrel"; to be...

    YouTube corn picking

    Looks like video from the Half Century of Progress in Rantoul, Illinois. IH, John Deere and Ford made pickers that mounted to the rear/side of tractors to pick one row at a time. I can't speak for most parts of the country, but in my area, southeast MN, JD pickers were not the most popular-IH...

    OT: farm land rent

    We have farmers in the western part of southeast MN that will drop $450-$500 per acre without battling an eye. My land is towards the western part, not the eastern part where the bluff lands are. I am aware that the crop prices are down, new machinery sales have ground to a halt, and land has...

    OT: farm land rent

    It is the time of the year for farm rent renewal. How are the land rent prices in your area? Are they holding the same, softening, bottoming out? My dad and I have had long time renters who do a good job of managing the land, rotating crops of corn, oats, and hay. Our land is located in SE...

    Ear Corn Picking in SE MN 2014

    Here are a couple of photos of ear corn picking last Saturday in southeastern Minnesota. My friend and I picked a few loads and shelled them with a MM D sheller. Joe owns a JD 60 with a JD 227 picker and I have an IH 706 with a IH 234 picker. The moisture was in the low 20s.

    Moving a pole shed

    The elderly next door neighbor has an approximate 36' wide x60' long pole shed that has sat idle for years. I have been thinking about buying from her and moving it about 1000 feet to my building site. However I do have a few questions that I would like to get advice on. 1) What is the best...

    Paint stenciles

    Dave, I have made stencils and painted with them on my MN barge wagons. It is time consuming but well worth it. First I made chalk rubbings of the original letters and then took them to a photo copy machine to make copies to use for the stencils. This is where I would use a pencil and ruler to...
