Interesting question. How far back can we go? Before my birth? Do I get to retain knowledge of the future so I have some idea as to what to do different? To have the biggest impact on me would be to go far enough back to impact my parents for an improved financial situation in my youth. I guess I would want to go back to 1920 to gamble on the horses that I knew the results of the races then invest in the stock market. After a year or two of that I would jump ahead to September 1929 and pull everything out then reinvest about 1933 or 1934 when everything hit bottom. Then I would jump ahead to the 1950's and bet more horse races, baseball and football games I knew the results of. I would have a small fortune ready to go for the 1960's which is the decade I was born in. Dump some money off there for the family then keep working the market for the oil crisis and grain booms of the 1970's then jump to 1986 for the Micorsoft IPO. I was actually privy to the IPO but being a college student I had zero money available for it. If I could only go back and give my young self a tip I would say do something other than the ag degree despite the advice of the Farm Credit officer. Farm but have a good job to feed the farm instead of duking it out with others for fewer ag jobs during the consolidation of the 1980's. The trouble with either scenario is I would have to have lived the "crappy life" to get to the point to go back and know what to do to make changes. It is probably a good thing humans do not have the ability to move through time.

Today's Featured Article - New Life for an Old Allis - by Tyler Woods. My friend Jon, has an old '39 Allis Chalmers B. He thought it a marginal tractor that had long since served its time. She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl.
