[AT] storing outside

[Herb Metz]

WOOPS!
Don't know what happened in my below 10:39 email asking about John Hall's 
grain header.  Somehow it included a sentence about Gilmer County from an 
earlier email telling someone about our going forty miles north to a canning 
facility in Ellijay, GA operated jointly by State of GA and County of Gilmer 
for educational benefit of area residents; we had used these facilities for 
canning 100 lbs of chemically free tomatoes making 19 quarts of delicious, 
nutritious, no unknown additives, juice. Herb(GA)

John,
Curious as to your "grain header" in your last line? Herb(GA)

I'm certain if you ask your dad or other oldtimers they will tell you
they used to mix oil and diesel to spray on planting equipment with an
old "blow pot". I still do my corn planter this way,but take precautions
about breathing the mist. The guys I got it from always soaked the
fertilizer hoppers in used motor oil, I decided to do the same. Why
don't you go buy one or two of the heaviest tarps harbor freight has.
Place some boards anywhere the tarp may sag under weight of rain water.
Whats $30-40 to keep it out of the weather until you have time to get it
in the shop or under a permanent shed. Throw the tarps out when you are
done. I would put rags or something over any sharp corners. This is what
I have to do for my grain header.
Gilmer county is big in agriculture, primarily chicken but cattle and much
other.  John Hall
