Threshing day when all of the local farmers came to our place to thresh our wheat and oat. Later on went to the other farms to help them. Only one threshing machine in our end of the county. That old Huber was a great old tractor.
Family outings when we would pick and haul apples to the storage building. Like threshing, people from all over came to pick apples before the frost.
Barn dances when we actually had dances in the barns and the local square dance caller also played a violin

That how I grew up in Ohio. It changed during the 50's. When I came back from 6 yrs in the service it was all gone. What an utter disillusionment. Henry

Might have to convert to Mennonite/Low Church Amish.

For a couple of weeks,Thursday nights,on the channel right below RFD on Direct TV,there were documentaries on the Amish. Very interesting. They said only about ten percent were full time farmers now,but the Amish communities were growing faster than ever.Some had cottage industries,but the majority were working off the farm at 8 hour a day jobs. Even that community can't stop progress. Maybe we'll have to become seperatists and start our own. The outside world would do everything in its power to destroy us though I'm sure.
