July 2010 Newsletter

   On our way home from the Black Hills we stopped at Pioneer Auto Show and Antique Town at Murdo, South Dakota. If you travel across South Dakota on interstate 90, we highly recommend stopping there. It was a very nice facility, nothing fancy, but they had a least 200 cars and 50 old tractors  dating back to 1900.  Plus there were displays of everything antique you could think of. While there I was reminded of our changing world.  Here I am trying to get the mixture right so my foam markers on my sprayer will work and most everyone else is talking GPS. I plant with a planter with markers and again most people talk GPS. I sure don’t have auto guide. I drive my tractors and combine down the rows with the steering wheel!! A Global Positioning System is great, but is sure leaves me out.

   The next meeting will be Tuesday July 13^th at 7:00 p.m. at Yorktown Hall.

   Our tractor drive that was to be held June 5^th is rescheduled for July 10^th, leaving New Market at 9:15 a.m. We know everyone is busy now, but hope you have time for this drive, as it will be a lot of fun. If there are any questions call Junior McCall at 542-4244 or Dean Goudie at 523-2893.

   Local events for the 4^th of July will be a tractor show held in front of the National Guard Armory on Ferguson road in Shenandoah from 10 am . To 4 p.m. Also there will be parades in Bedford and New Market.  Hope to see you at one of these.

   Our summer tractor cruise will be held in Northboro, August 7^th.  The drive will leave at 1 P.M. in the afternoon and return to Northboro for a covered dish dinner with entertainment buy Ron Burson in the air-conditioned Northboro hall.  Further details will be discussed at the next meeting.

   Be sure to enjoy the summer thrashing shows! See you on the 13^th.
