    did any elevators ever buy ear corn?

    I don't know if they ever took delivery of ear corn, but our local elevator used to bring their sheller out and shell it out of the crib into the truck to haul back to town.

    O/T Disappointing gun show....

    'Must depend on where you are. The last few shows I've been to, particularly the one last month, were very well attended. I've always found the crowd at the local shows to be very polite, even when the aisles are crowded. I'm looking forward to the one coming up in November. I'll be the ARs...

    New digital TV frequencies?

    If you're dealing with a poor-quality, snowy VHF signal you may need to upgrade your antenna, but sometimes you may be surprised. I'm in a fairly strong signal area, but have found that I actually get a better quality picture on the new digital channels, even using rabbit ears, than I do on...

    Ok we did age and jobs, now how about

    Just 1 8N. I live in town and if I had all the tractors I want the neighbors would probably shoot me. As it is, they just think I'm crazy for keeping the 'N underneath my crab tree or parked on the front lawn.

    O/T gun question but used on the farm

    Food. Anybody stocking up?

    Well, we buy beef by the quarter from a cattleman friend, so we've usually got a hundred pounds or so on hand. I bake the bread in the family and I've always got enough flour on hand for at least a couple of months of that. Veggies...probably a couple of weeks worth, as well as a couple of...
