I wish I could have given you some pointers on the Farmall tractor. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas and Farmall or "International Harvester" equipment was about all we ran. From "M" Farmall's then to the 806 series on up. My dad had a pretty good "shade tree" mechanic on the payroll so I worked with him. That was many moons ago, but it does give me a little knowledge of my own tractor even though it is an overseas brand. My wife and mom are both scratch country chefs. My sister said there are two types of cooks, the ones that cook by feel and those like her that cook by formula. You may have surmised the ones who cook by formula are the ones who have a number of measuring cups and spoons.

Hahaha! I think I'd be somewhere in the middle, or back and forth between the two? While I like to use my "magic" spoons and cups, all too often I'll measure and say: "that's not nearly enough!" Or I'll disagree with the recipe entirely...🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😁

"I’ve foresaken tillage altogether"

Are you using a 'seed drill' instead for better soil management?

Congrats on passing your exam (do they ever end?!) and on paying attention to your own self-care as the demands increase and daylight/vitamin D levels decline. ☀️🌻🍁

No seed-drill. No mechanical equipment whatsoever. And thanks on the exam! It's good for 5 yrs, so hopefully I won't need to do it again (not planning to be there that long)!
