When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

The manure spreader may be considered by some to be the lowliest of all farm implements. Yet, considering that it was one of the most frequently used implements on many farms and weighing the huge impact it exerted on reducing the back-breaking labor to spread manure across fields, enriching them. and boosting yields, the manure spreader deserves a prime position in the pantheon of farm machinery advances.

The Justice Department on Friday filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, a property management software provider, alleging it enabled a collusion among landlords to inflate rents for millions of Americans. The complaint claims the Richardson, Texas-based company and its competitors engaged in a price-fixing scheme by sharing nonpublic, sensitive information, which RealPage's algorithmic pricing software used to generate pricing recommendations. The company replaced competition with rent coordination to the detriment of renters across the U.S., according to the suit, monopolizing the market through its revenue management software which was used by landlords to maximize rent costs. The DOJ is joined by the...

A few special tools can dramatically speed in-the-field repairs to combines and harvest equipment, including:. Super-deep-well sockets can slide over extra-long belt tensioner bolts. Take a standard deep-well socket of the right size, cut it in half, then weld it back together using a 12" long, 1” i.d. piece of pipe as the center section. The result is a deep, deep-well socket. Use the mega-socket with a battery-powered impact wrench to speed de-tensioning or re-tensioning those long bolts. Use discretion when running those tensioning nuts on or off the bolt. If the bolts are dusty or corroded, full-speed on an impact wrench can strip threads faster than you can take your finger off the trigger.
