Had my fingers in the wrong place at the wrong time on a chemical eductor on my Pitstop setup. Felt like chopping carrots. Index finger 98% chopped off just hanging by skin and middle finger chopped about 90% off. Dr** at New West in Kearney took good care of me and fingers are now almost 100% healed and back to normal 👍

The local co-op tipped a floater over on our field yesterday. Driver was fine, floater is not! He slid on frozen ground on a steep hill and caught a combine rut. 3 wheeled Case machine.

Had a cutoff wheel blow up and kick the grinder back in my face back in June. 3 hours of surgery and doing just fine now. Ordered the best face shield I could find after that. I'll never use a grinder without one again.

Local farmer fell from a combine, initially some paralysis, now he is regaining feeling. Praying for healing to full mobility and back to his love for farming with his family.

Loaded grain wagon pushed the tractor into a jack-knife, onto the highway. Thankfully, no one coming my way and minimal damages...need to control the momentum/slow down.
