Stars are aligning for Dan Needles to take one more kick at the cat. The cat being field crop farming. In an excerpt from Dan’s story in the March-April issue of Small Farm Canada magazine, dreams become reality.
“My Tuesday coffee buddy, Steve, recently has begun dreaming about his lost 624 International and searching for a small plot to grow a crop of something . . . anything.”
Steves dreams and Dan’s doctor’s orders seal the deal.
“I took the rest of the field back from the neighbour and suggested to Steve we go farming together. He jumped at the opportunity and recommended a crop of spring grain under seeded with hay. Then he promptly abandoned his search for the 624 and helped me find a Massey 135. The coffee club is helping us source implements to get the job done. We both know better but we can’t help ourselves.”
