[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9909"] About 10 years ago we bought a piece of property that had belonged to the same family for over 30 years. The fellow was a welder . . . we're still finding old metal of every type and size with each spring thaw. We had been adding the collection to a fenced-in pile of metal & finally felt we had collected the majority of the trash, so brought in a dumpster last fall and started having it hauled out. Hope to finish the job this summer. I'm sure we'll always find scrap metal, but the supply is diminishing. Cleaned up quite a few "antique" beer cans and whiskey bottles, too. These people, besides collecting scrap metal, raised & ran about 30 race horses on the property for all those years. More than the metal, I think a continuing problem in our farm community is the terible scattering of poly hay string. We pick up every piece of hay string and dispose of it immediately. It took us about 5 years to get rid of the old hay string buried in this property. It would come up with spring thaw, too. A friend gave us a slaughter cow when we first moved here. I couldn't get her to put on weight, no matter what I fed her. When she was slaughtered, we found a ball of hay twine about the size of a basketball in her stomach, poor thing. And, those friends have PILES of hay string in all of their corrals and feeding areas. Most farmers around here don't bother to remove the twine when feeding round bales. [/QUOTE]
