Joel, it didn't change on our farm yesterday.  My sweep auger broke and we had to load a semi that had to be out of here by hand.  I didn't have time to run for parts and make the repair.

Basically it has changed a bunch or we wouldn't be farming.  No-Till and cover crops has simplified our farming style.  Now we concentrate our labor on management decisions and you know how important and how large they are.  That's hard to explain to a class of young people who may have never done much hard work.

We continue to teach young people here the value of hard work so you learn not to do it and use your brain instead.  Without hard work, it's too easy to get complacent and not appreciate technology.

Farming is a brain game now in  my mind which is really more difficult for many people than hard, physical labor.
