[AT] On Topic: to be or not to be

[Tyler Juranek]

Hi all.
I don't post on here much, but I verry much enjoy reading all of the
posts on here.
Currently I am a highschool student, soon to be a Jr actually.
As crazy as it seems I am visually impaired, and can't see a thing at
all. I raise cattle, drive two cylinder John Deeres, etc. I do not let
the visual impairment stop me from doing what I want.
It takes a lot to afend me, so post away! I love gaining new knoledge
about tractors old and new.
To answer David's question, if you are in Iowa or Nebraska or
wherever, there is a tractor show in Shelby (Sorry if I misspelled the
city,) called Carsten Farms. It is always the weekend after Labor Day.
They have a couple of tractor parades, threshing machine, sawmill,
corn maze, etc. They also have plowing demonstrations in the field.
Another thing about the show is the demonstrations about how the
farmhouses were run. The show you how to make cloth, clothes, etc.
On Saturday night, they have real good chicken dinners. After
everybody has been served, then most peopl just sit and talk. Some
folks that brought tractors go out and drive around.
Hope that helps, good luck with your tractor search.
Regards,
Tyler Juranek
