Where respect cultivates safety

鈥淎 tractor is truth.鈥�
That鈥檚 something my father 鈥� a gentleman farmer, with 13 head of Black Angus out back 鈥� used to tell me when I was a kid in Otsego County, New York. The idea, I figured out: Our old Massey Ferguson was a simple machine with not one wasted flourish. Lots of power, though, and a direct line from action to consequence. Like a shotgun, it demanded responsible use.聽
