Interesting. I googled an inflation adjustment for the $240 griddle, and it would have been equivalent to about $18 in 1950. I could imagine that in 1950, $20 was considered an investment, but not unreasonable for a good cast iron griddle. But somehow, $240 seems like a whole lot of money today.

This raises a question: what is the goal, Made in the USA, or just something made by a company that actually takes pride in quality and a well-paid skilled workforce? For example, are Canadian goods OK? I have a very high quality pair of Bekina rubber boots made in Belgium. French enamelware...

Teddy keeps on growing! He's now over 40 pounds at only 6 months old.

I don't know about your harvest crew, but you might want to put them in the old camper... LOL.

I'm usually not the 'safety guy' when it comes to farm equipment, but I have to say that moving round bales in an open station skid steer is sketchy, even by my standards.

It's a little different in this household, but these three are mine:

My wife's uncle has a nice cow/calf operation in Wyoming. When we were out visiting this summer, he said that they haven't kept a replacement heifer for two years now, because weaned calves are going for such a high price, it doesn't make sense to hang onto them. He figures it will either bottom...

A neighbor lives close to a quarry, so he just weighs his rig, loads whatever cattle he's sending, then rolls back across the scale. It's close enough for friends and family type deals.

Those Deutz tractors are hard to beat. We have a Deutz-Allis 6265 that has spent a lot of hours doing field work and manure spreader duty.

Whoa. Hope you snagged one of those Kleins for every car you have. I love those.

The kids found a flag on July 3, so they took a run around their Grandpa's ranch with it, singing the Star Spangled Banner the whole way.

We just added a new pup to the family. Teddy isn't ready for rabbits yet, but he will be soon!

I'm a simple man - Jim Beam white label is fine, since my cocktail of choice is usually an Old Fashioned with way too much bitters. That being said, my good friend from college has a craft distillery near Cincinnati - New Richmond Distilleries https://www.nrdistilleries.com/ It's really nice...

My uncle has one, and I've run it some. It runs well and is a handy size, but to me it's uncomfortable to sit on, and the controls are very jerky and overly sensitive.

I have a charity clay shoot next Friday. Time to dust off Grandpa’s old automatic and make sure it’s cycling well.
