Collateral Damage: The Deutz-Allis 9170 | Successful Farming

The Deutz-Allis 9170 is a good tractor. Maybe even a great tractor.

But man alive, if you show one to a random Allis guy, there’s a decent chance their head will explode. They’ll call it a traitor because of its green paint. Kick dirt on it. It will get awkward. At the end of the day, nobody will feel real great about it, and the 9170 gets the short end of the stick.

There is a Pennsylvania farm channel on follow on the Youtube that farms with Duetz-Allis tractors. Definitely mutant creatures of 1980s but they still do good hauling the manure and turning over the dirt.

The Fascinating Story of the Danish Protest Pigs – Daily Scandinavian

Through a crafty program of crossbreeding, Danish farmers tried to create a new breed of pig that faintly resembled their beloved home’s flag. It wasn’t terribly difficult, they decided to use biology as their secret weapon. The banner of Denmark is relatively simple—a flat red background covered by a long, white Nordic cross — so all the pig needed was a coat of red fur and one or two prominent white belts. They named it Protestschwein, the Danish Protest Pig.

The Danish Protest Pig is a rare breed of domestic pig. Due to its red color, its broad white vertical belt, and a trace of a white horizontal belt it resembles the colors of the Flag of Denmark. It originated in North Frisia in Southern Schleswig in the beginning of the 20th century, when Danes living in the area were not allowed to raise the Danish flag and kept and displayed the Protest Pig instead, making it a symbol of their cultural identity.
