Our New "G"

Vince has a new girlfriend- his Allis Chalmers G.  I'm not even sure Allis Chalmers was a female, but in order to keep herself in competition, Anna had to take her out for a test ride. We are very excited about this new find (as you can see in the picture above). It all started with a visit to the antique tractor show, where we saw her for the first time.  The neighbor down the road was actually selling her, so a few weeks later, we paid him a visit and soon after, Vince and his new tractor were bumping home down the road.  We can now see what we are cultivating right underneath us without looking backwards all the time to see if we missed the spinach. The idea is that the G will take over some of the hand hoeing work between rows. It can also do many other things, I just don't know exactly what they are, but they way I hear it, they're pretty neat.
