Today, Kurt and I are in Williamsburg, Iowa at the Jon Kinzenbaw collection. This is a preview for the auction that's coming up November 4th. Sullivan Auctions is conducting this. It's an online sale only, so I will not be covering the sale. You can go online and watch it, but since there won't be any personnel there, I will not be there. Let's see if we can catch up with Jon Kinzenbaw and see if we can ask him a few questions. This is going to be interesting.

Yes. A 1946 Farmall H that he bought when I was two years old. And that's the only tractor we had until I was probably 14 years old.
