Oil boom
We've been in the Bakken oil field on a couple of trips. You have the feeling of history in the making as folk rush to get a slice of this North Dakota, Montana, Manitoba, Saskatchewan phenomenon. We scored this old mug for a spendy $4 in an antique store in Valley City, ND. Riding along in the early morning when headed for Williston, ND, you are suddenly aware of these fireballs in the distance where they are flaring off gas from the wells.

As a vineyard owner, I'm on the lookout for tractors that are both compact and effective in tight spaces. The john deere 3020 really stands out to me because of its impressive fuel efficiency. On the other hand, I'm also looking into the john deere 4040 for its robust engine performance. The kubota b2601 offers excellent maneuverability, while the john deere 2210 appears to be perfect for maintaining a small vineyard. I'm now contemplating whether the john deere 430 would be a wiser choice for long-term investment. What do you think I should purchase?
