<THE HARRY JONES PORTFOLIO>
by Harry Jones
(February 18, 1999) -- Every spring I take a few days and walk my farm. I walk it up and down, every row of it, checking the ground for sinkholes, large animal burrows, busted irrigation, large stones (where do they come from?) or whatnot. It's a rare winter when I can do this in February, but this year I began two days ago. It makes me much more comfortable when the time comes to plow and plant, especially because I've hit holes in years past that could stop a tractor cold.
So, I walk up and down the fields, all the way out of sight of the house, and I take my time. I usually start at daybreak after breakfast and go until lunch (which I sometimes pack with me) and then into twilight. It's a good day's work. Nobody else would do it for me. Only I care enough about my property to know it so well.
The S&P rose 1.08% today.
