16. I have the perfect memory for that type in thing

Way back when I first bought my farm, it had been a hog farm and they raised their own corn to feed to the pigs. But it had been semi-abandoned and the last corn crop had not been harvested.

The first spring, I drove the tractor with Bushhog (mower) to clear the fields to get them ready for grass. I'd start at the edge of each field and spiral in until there was one swath of corn stalks and weeds left down the middle. The red tailed hawks knew what was coming and hovered overhead. As I mowed down that last swath, rats - big cotton rats - would run out and try to make it to the edges of the fields where there was still cover.

That year the hawks ate very well.

I'm hoping that the FBI is hovering to catch the rats as they break for cover!
