Did allis ever build a corn seedling planter? LOL i am watching the news and they reported that the farmers can't plant there corn seedling in the flooded south.

Or maybe they know something that i don't????

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

I sometimes hear glaring errors on the local and national news when they are reporting something I am familiar with. I wonder how many incorrect statements I have believed in stories about unfamiliar topics. I guess this is why don't always take the news as the final word.

Must be getting old and grouchy. Corn seedling makes as much sense to me as calling little pigs piglets. I never heard of a "piglet" until Winnie the Pooh became popular with the "townies". Kinda like cultivators when there is only one unit. A cultivator(s) is made up of gangs and is singular til you have more than one. There are one row, two row, four row, and multiples from there, but they are not cultivator(s) unless there are more than one complete unit. Now i realized that there are regional differences in usage, but that is what we called them here in the corn belt of Indiana-Illinois.

Another fine example is, a razor being called a shaver. A shaver is a person using a razor.
