Cleveland Indians Baseball

Baseball is an anchor. Like background music to my life. The Indians and Herb Score have always been there, through good times and bad.

Medina County Gazette

Just in case my son Blake is mentioned on the sports page! He was All-Conference in three sports last year as a high school junior and is doing better this year. Football (Offensive Tackle or Nose Guard), Wrestling (215 lb), and Track (Shot and Discus).

THE Ohio State University Home Page

I graduated from OSU with a degree in Dairy Science in 1969. In the late 70's I made the mistake of gifting them with $100. Since then, they have probably spent 10x that amount on postage trying to get more. But despite their attempts to alienate me, I love the place anyway.

Mennonite Information Center

I am not Mennonite but I do have a deep appreciation for their values. I was raised Methodist and also have a deep appreciation for their values. Unfortunately, I am also a confirmed backslider and about the best I can do now is to not spread manure on Sunday morning anywhere that the preacher can see me.

Mennonites and Canadian Agriculture

Mennonites have long been noted for their love for the land and their agricultural skills. In Europe they were the first to introduce practices such as crop rotation, use of animal manure and lime for fertilizer and other methods of soil enrichment. In 18th century Pennsylvania they were credited with establishing the first intensive agriculture in America. An American contemporary wrote that they (Mennonites) were noted for "the extent of their orchards, the fertility of their soil, the productiveness of their fields, the luxuriance of their meadows."

The humble Farmer

A humble man broadcasting a TV show out of rural Maine. Full texts of past shows are available here.

Old Tractors

I do most of my "Low Cost Structure Dairy Farming" with a "Low Cost Structure Allis-Chalmers" that looks about like this one. This picture might be a Model C while mine is a amalgamation of a "B", a "C" and a "CA". Since I have an typical farmer's deep distrust of a freshly painted used tractor, mine doesn't look this good. Allis-Chalmers tractors are "Persian Orange".

Frugal Corner

The aim of this site is to provide and continually expand the informational resources needed to be successful at pursuing frugality.

Robert P. VanNatta Home Page

This guy isn't a Real Dairy Farmer, but I had to include him somewhere, so I put him next to Frugality. Actually, he has achieved the ideal: He's got the soul of a Dairy Farmer, but He's smart enough not to BE a dairy farmer.
