Those are great farming photo's. There is a lot of farming in my area as well. Mostly corn, cotton, soybeans and sugar beets. I see you have a AMSOIL Oil cap on. Do you use AMSOIL in your farm equipment?

Nic pics. I rode across Canada this summer and was amazed at the size of some of the farms there. Beautiful country. Also impressed at how neat and clean everything was.

Great set of farming photos... Good to see these because the technology seems so mysterious at a distance while passing by... All of that equipment looks like a lot of fun! And by the way, Don, I REALLY like your first name. Best regards, Don Kinney

I especially like the storm clouds and warp speed photos. A very nice presentation. Thank you for posting it! --Mary Ann

Really enjoyed the photos. Brought back many memories of my childhood. We lost our farm in the days of Jimmy Carter and 19% interest. Would not change growing up on our dairy for all the money in the world. Nothing like a cold glass of raw milk. I'll bet you are greasing everything up getting ready to start planting shortly. Take care.

Nothing can compare to riding a GL1800 Goldwing. It's what I get on to relax after the headaches of farming and running a small business. The Mic-Mutes just make it more enjoyable. :)

Don, I'm wondering if riding your Gold Wing (with Mic-Mutes) is as much fun! www.mic-mutes.com Bill Morphy

Great digital photo journal through your Farm!! Thanks so much for sharing. Looking forward for more.

Great photos Uncle Don!! But next year you must get a photo of the littlest "Stefanik" farmer to add to the gallery!!! And, Braydon thinks you need one of "grandpa" too! What a great keepsake for years to come; hopefully next years' crop will give back to you and Dad as much heart & soul as you put into it, or at least better than the last 3 years. Seeing these photos makes me miss living closer to home more than I usually do.

Those were neat pictures [ I liked you in the cab]. It gave a very clear insight to all the work you have to do on the farm.Sorry I called you a wussie farmer. Ha Ha Ha

Hey Don, the photos are great, however, I don't have a clue what half that stuff is! I don't see any headers, blowers, mag wheels, wheelie bars etc. so I am afraid I am a little out of my element, hahahah. Keep up the good work you high tech farmer, looks like you are having lots of fun with your toys, talk soon, Darlene
