[AT] The Earth is shifting

[Francis Robinson]

	I was told that it was a 235 and that is likely. "Ran when parked" but has
been sitting a long time.

	The Indian corn was a total failure. I planted it in an area that is
"normally" OK but leans toward wettish. We had too much rain all spring and
summer. It just struggled along and finally after several huge soakings it
just quit. That area that has been farmed OK since we moved here in 1951
sometimes stood 1 to 2 inches of water for days at a time. It is an open
pollinated corn and I had saved my seed like I had for years. I don't have
any more seed so I will have to order some from someone like Gurneys or
other garden seed supplier' It can be a little pricey in any sizeable
amount. My seed germinated well, just didn't like wet feet... Next years
site will be on higher ground. Pumpkins will be planted on ridges.
	I wouldn't dream of letting any CUB stuff go to scrap. I almost bought a
set of cultivators for my CUB last year and should have. I did buy a new
3-point one-row to fit the back of my Yanmar 1500 Diesel.

Farmer what is the engine in the 55 bus ?
Might be interested in it if >>>>>>>>>>
How did your corn crop turn out this year, and where can a fella get some of
that seed ? Is it open pollinated or hybrid ? I want to plant a couple acres
of that type corn and a punkin patch for the baby. Shes 18 months old and
really loves the old iron. we used to grow sweetcorn and pumpkins when we
were in the tobacco growing. Now all the property is fenced for pasture
except a 2 a patch on the corner, and I broke that up awhile back for this
little project.
And I need a reason to break the cub out of storage, cub is a bad little
dude cultivating tobacco ect.
You have any cub stuff like sidedresser or planter parts going ?
