I posted a pick of one of mine on another thread but I think this deserves a thread of it's own.
Almost everybody's got one, farmer or not. Let's see 'em!

Not official unless it is in a grove, with knee-high grass concealing at least one spike harrow to act as a trap for the unwary. Random strands of barbed wire lying about, intertwined with various objects and grown into trees are also a must. Old tires lying on their sides and containing rain water and mosquito larvae are also highly recommended.

NVhntr,

you need to get that terlet out front and put some posies in it. Brighten up the yard for the neighbors.

I've got to go see if I can find a grouse to sluice. I'll get back to this and see if I can find a pic of my boneyard. I'm kind of a piker at it though, compared to a real collector.

Once upon a time I knew of several that were real interesting and a couple were pretty extensive. They all seem to have vanished over the years. Looks like nowadays they are becoming relics from a bygone era. Hope this thread gets some good pictures.

The scrappies have killed a lot of the good bone yards. Someone passes on, the jackals show up and offer a couple thousand cash to the family to clean out the whole yard and it all goes to the crusher frown Used to be a lot of old logging bone yards in the bush around here, stuff back to steam engines pretty much. Same deal..

There is no such thing as a farmers junkyard. It is just a place that you store your extra stuff until you need some parts off them. Nomatter how many years they have been there, there are always parts you can use for one thing or another. Junkyard mad

Some of the Indians on the Northern Cheyenne Rez out of Hardin Mt has some houses with some serious junk iron collections surrounding them. Mostly cars. They must never sell a car when they are through with it. There are signs on the highway warning you not to stop your vehicle. Maybe they think you will steal some junk iron.

Farmers and ranchers are the original recyclers. Old machinery and equipment is stored in the graveyard and parts are harvested as needed. I am in the process of concentrating all my stuff into one area instead of having it spread all over the place.

There's an old airplane junkyard near Truman Lake that is getting so grown over with brush that most people would never notice it while driving past.

Well they say "one man's junk is another mans treasure".
I've seen some good ones while traveling the west. There is guy in Utah with a bunch of nice old relic trucks he plants along his fence right next to I-15. I always like passing by and seeing what he's had added.

Sound like the Navajo Res in Northern AZ. Trailer or modular homes with junk cars and other stuff about and they throw their old tires up on their roofs. Always wondered what the deal was with the tires on the roof.
Oh, and almost always a basketball hoop set up in the yard.

Where our deer camp is in Pennsylvania, there used to be an oil well and pumping station up on top of the mountain. It was powered by one of those huge single cyllinder hit and miss engines that ran off the crude oil it was pumping. Dad used to still hunt up to that station and mooch a coffee off the old grease monkey and visit with him for a while. All the equipment is long gone. If you didn't know it had been there and walked through there today you'd never know it existed. Every bit of it hauled out by the scrappers.
