[QUOTE="littletom, post: 1639267, member: 23522"] Have really enjoyed reading through this. I bought more knives and spears this morning. We will start cutting mid week if weather works out. I wish i knew how to post pics i could really warm you guys hearts. So much has changed but so much is just how you remember it. Some of the best things are we can take care of weeds and worms at setting. No more plant beds, and it goes in 650 pound bales. And outdoor scaffolds I have 30000 sticks hanging on high tensile wire with plastic over them. Most years it cures better than barns. About the ky regional things still going. Here it has always been set in strips since time when base went from acres to pounds. Most have a drive through every 12 rows and pass sticks over when cut. 20 miles north east set solid sticks dropped off hi boy. Closer to lexington they drive them. Tobacco has really consolidated proably 500 acres within 8 miles of this chair im setting in. Then may drive hour before see anymore. Bigfoot I know the type you ate with. I'm nasty with dirty shoes most days by 7. I do top with them pretty often I have not cut any or been in a barn for a few years. Just don't have time running my but off. Moving equitment between farms, a big part of life is setting in a jd 6500, and putting out fires, and doing endless paperwork. Next two months god knows how many tires i will change. We still strip on christmas most year. We cut for 3 days and pickup for 4 days. Boys have off sunday unless rain is coming. I move sticks wagons and fix whatever got torn up. We pickup 15 flatwagons in the morning then they unload them i drag all those wagons back next day. [/QUOTE]
