Ralph	
Dad occasionally commented that a farmer was the biggest gambler in the
world in that he gambled on the weather.
The photo you included was of a sizeable farmer with a large JD FWD pulling
a preparer/seeder?
Also, the two plastic tanks were probably used for?
The larger tank in the background had something from the side and then over
to the center; probably piping or an access ladder?
Apologies for all of the questions.
Herb
