We saw this sign on a farmer’s gate on our way to Beacon in Western Australia. On the way home, we stopped to get a photo of it. We felt really sorry for the farmer. He is obviously very upset about his Case tractor. These cost...

Remember the other day when my hubby was mowing? I had asked him where he was going to start mowing at because I wanted to dig up some Elderberry trees that were just popping up. He told me the opposite side of the house, front...

Not an everyday sight

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 4 Oct 24

I sometimes work at various events, and one a few days ago was a bit unusual. It was a regional agricultural ploughing competition, produce show, and awards ceremony followed by a dinner for 350 people. We were just involved in...

How things have changed!

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 13 Oct 23

Change often happens slowly and gradually, so that we don’t realise quite how much has happened until something brings the situation into sharp focus. At an agricultural show in the summer there was a parade of tractors, and that...

Took a drive to the local state park today. On the way, I noticed a neighbor had a Halloween decoration on his tractor. The Tennessee college football team has this orange color on their uniforms. He had the TN cap and all the...

A long day on the tractor - not

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 7 May 22

I wrote about how, in the 1980s, my husband and I lived on a few acres in Esperance, south-east Western Australia. We both belonged to the brass band. Quite a few of the members were farmers and would discuss their day when we had...

The tractor might be sold today

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Apr 21

We are moving in three or four weeks, going from 18 acres to 300 square metres, so we’ve had to get rid of a lot of items. Today, someone is coming to look at the tractor. It is being sold with the grader blade, a carry-all and a...

I have another string to my bow

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Jun 20

Have you heard that expression? It means I have learnt a new skill. It’s winter here and Vince has been wanting to hook the blade on to the tractor to clear some of the drains on our gravel road down to the gate. So today was...

I drove the tractor!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44560) • United States 22 May 19

That might not impress you, but I grew up in the suburbs while in the Coast Guard so for me, it was quite the accomplishment. After I got married, we've lived in the country ever since and I would never want to live anywhere...

A day in the forest.

Nevena Zivkovic @Nevena83 (66063) • Serbia 2 Feb 19

Good day friends I just got out of the woods. We went to the woods to cut wood, because we no longer have firewood. We were missing in the house, because my father did not want to cut wood when it was nice day. I managed to...

Ploughing by steam

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Jul 18

I grew up on a farm and have remained very interested in farming methods, particularly those of my forefathers. In Tasmania, we chanced upon a steam museum. Most of the exhibits were to do with farming and there were also a number...

Make hay while the sun shines.

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169406) • United States 17 Jun 18

The field across from me is just slightly larger than a football field. It used to contain the High School Football field when Florence had its own schools. Last night I watched someone come out and check the grass. Next thing I...

A little grey Fergie tractor

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Jun 18

We spotted this on the side of the road just outside of Latrobe in northern Tasmania. It’s a ‘little grey Fergy’. These small tractors endeared themselves to farmers and others when they first appeared. I googled the tractor so...

Going backwards to go forwards

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr 18

The photo is of our Fordson tractor and a three-point linkage scarifier. Someone is interested in buying the scarifier and as we have used it about once in our time here, we feel we might as well sell it. So we hooked it up today...

Cleaning up the garden then going to a concert

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Dec 17

We are not good gardeners. When we built our home here in Western Australia in 2004 we planted two rows of golden diosma in front of the house. Although they were quite pretty, we never kept them pruned and eventually they...

Long-legged tractor in France

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381815) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Jul 17

Today in our travels we came across this tractor which looks for all the world like an alien transport vehicle. Perhaps you’re familiar with them but we don’t see them often in Australia, at least not where we live. It would be...

Chris Bergstrom @chrissbergstrom (10767) • Banks, Oregon 5 May 17

Since today was sunny out again I decided to go outside with my nephew and let him ride his bike, ride the rocking horse out back, and pretend to drive my Grandpa's old tractor. Photo is of my Nephew on Grandpa's old tractor,...

Some of your minds are going in the wrong directions with that title.....Ha Ha....but the truth is, it's the truth. Between popping in here to cool off I mowed the front yard and it's hot. I was sweating like a pig on a spit....
