HI everyone my name is Andy Akin. I live in south central IN halfway between Indianapolis, IN and Louisville, KY just off of interstate 65. So if any of you northerners come down to the farm show thanks for passin through. I have been farming all my life mostly cattle, grain, and hay. After graudating from the University of Northwestern Ohio with a degree in Agriculture Equipment Technology in 2004 I worked at a CaseIh dealer for one year. After that I have been full time farming along side my dad. We about 700 acres corn/bean rotation 800 acres of grass hay, 150 acres of alfalfa. We also bale about 15,000 bales of straw a year off of surrounding farms, we custom cut and bale about 1500 acres of hay ayear. We also have a 30 angus beef cow/calf herd where we feed out all the calves plus background an additional 175. This year we sold about a dozen for freezer beef which this is catching on very well and looks promising for the future. Currently workin on starting my own trucking company I have one truck currently leased on to a local company.  My goal by next year at this time is to have 3 trucks on the road and I don't have to drive except when filling in for a driver.  I would like to expand the grain side to about 1500 to 2000 down the road. Also expand the beef cows to about 200 but pasture is limited around here. So if anybody needs any hay, custom hay baling, or freezer beef let me know.

no not our operation. we broker dairy cattle and those heifers were the 3rd load of 145 to fly to a new dairy in turkey. the cattle came from all over the north east.

andrew, some of the parts may work but not very many. the hammermill on a 355 is wider than a 352. so the mounting plate on the hammermill won't work. i have found a 357 my neighbor has, but even the mounting looks as if it is different. i was told by new holland that i had to have a 355 so i just keep lookin and searchin, thanks a bunch for the effort and help though. keep that 352 you can sell parts off of it for a pretty penny, not very many grinder mixers scrapped out, most are sold as junk iron. i have had contacts want parts for all makes.

that is shitty... hard to tell what starts a fire. We burned a 8010 this year and a 2188 a few years back and we never found out the cause for either of them

Hey, Andrew. Boy, I sure don't know about that one, but I'd sure like to read something like that. Have you checked Amazon.com? I also check Barnes and Noble (store or online) sometimes. Another one maybe worth a shot might be Powells.com, the site for a big bookstore in Portland, OR (my wife's from there). They have a lot of history stuff on the western part of the country there.

Let me know if you find something good and can recommend one!

Hello Seymor, IN, I'm from down here in KY just below Madison, IN. Bottle Calves around here are pretty high right now. I was just at the stockyards Monday night and the bottle calves sold there went any where from $195 - $250. Good luck on getting some!
