Look around, we have devices that even the science fiction writers and movie producers could not envision just thirty years ago. But today I utilized shoe leather technology.   It was a nice day, sunny and not too cold. It gave me the opportunity to get out and work my farming territory. I confess, winter we... 03/09/2012
