[AT] Maybe a good safety item

[Robinson]

         I was buying a bearing for my Gleaner combine about a week ago and 
at the dealer I saw a nice looking little LED light unit. It was maybe 2 
1/2" high by about 3 1/2: wide (I didn't think to measure it). It had its 
own battery and two strong magnets on the back. One push of the switch made 
the light flash, a second push was a bright steady light. The light was 
quite bright. Cost was a very thin hair under $20. I am thinking about 
getting two of them and keeping them in my truck. They would be great for 
slapping on the back of a wagon being pulled down the road at night (good 
for hay rides), no wires, no connectors. I also on the road with an odd 
shaped implement (like a baler etc.) They would also work well on an odd 
trailer load. They had them in both red and amber as I recall. I had seen 
some small round ones before but these seemed a LOT brighter.

Also a newly created one called "100 Acre Farming" targeting folks who 
operate farms from about 75 acres to 150 acres. Those are not iron clad 
numbers. Midwestern farms in this class require a full line of farm 
equipment unlike much smaller farms but have only a little in common with 
the much larger farms common today.
