    3pt log splitter

    Who keeps gasoline on the farm?

    With fuel prices where they are I'm considering purchasing a fuel tank (1000 gallon) and storing gasoline here on the farm. I've kept diesel for years.

    We have four barn cats that are around here and a very fat dog. The dog keeps eating the cat food. The cats got a little lean over the winter, we need a better system. I'd love to go to an automatic feeder, but I don't want the dog eating it all and the dog is outside during the day. Ideas?

    I just purchased a bush hog 126 rotary cutter for my tractor and was reading the manual. It talked a fair amount about using this for hay production, even showed a windrow attachment. I have never seen anyone do this. Everyone around here uses swathers or sickles. Why is that?
