Anyone from Peru Illinois know anything about Peru Plow and Wheel Company?
FORDMAN asked:
I am interested in antique farm equipment. I recently purchased an antique farm wagon with steel wheels.
The only writing I have found is “Peru” written on the wheels.
I have found that there was at one time a company called Peru plow and wheel company, but I have found almost no other info on the web.
Maybe somebody’s grandparent worked there?
I would like to know roughly how old my wagon is.
If I at least knew what years the company was in business, I would have an idea.
Thanks in advance for any info you can share.

Anyone have a hobby farm?
Eric the Great *USA* asked:
I have a nice rural 10 acer lot upstate new york that is a hay field. I give the hay to the farmer next door to me in return for keeping the property from being over grown since I don’t have equipment to maintain it. about 800-900 bails per year
May build soon and would like to utilize the property and get my hands dirty. Don’t know were to begin and what works. has anyone experience this?
I have very hard time getting people to do work up there no one ever shows up, that’s why I give it to him. I know he will get done and Its important for the quality of future growth. I live 280 miles away from this lot now for that reason its worth it for me until I live their.
I’ve been thinking along the lines of small greenhouses, small animals, practical self sufficiency. some way subsidize income
peter, what are talking about dude

Why are food prices still skyrocketing, while the price of fuel has decreased?
Triscuit asked:
The main reason for food prices skyrocketing was the high price of fuel used for transportation, operating farm equipment, etc. Now that those prices have fallen significantly, why are food prices still climbing??
