| I was there all 4 days and never got to see them pick corn, It wasn't for lack of trying either, I was there twice when they were all lined up and ready to go. I did get to see the combines doing beans, twice, and corn once. The tractor pulls were pretty amazing with a good variety of classes. I took about 250 pictures. It will be a while before I get them posted. |

We were just there for Saturday. Drove out to Peoria Friday nite and then went the rest of the way Saturday morning and left around 5 Saturday and came home. 1 day to really take in everything is pushing it but we did managed to see the picking, corn combining, bean combining and plowing. Thank goodness for our wheels. ------------- "Yet there are soulless men whose hand and brain tear down what time will never give again." Anderson M Scruggs |

| The Model 35 picker is mine. I had some trouble with it the first day but a very kind gentleman offered me a slower ground speed tractor than my Farmall m and I gladly accepted the D 12 that was on there. Was a great combination and I managed to get 4 loads with it. |

Did anyone get pics of the Allis 6-12 plowing? ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

| Ted, I saw Norm on Saturday with the 6-12 but he wasn't plowing at the time. Didn't get any pictures of him either. I'll post some pictures in the next day or two. |
