Well, everyone has added to this one. WOW! I remember watching my Grandpa and Dad, and Stepdad as a kid on the family farms, thinkin that was what I wanted. Worked for what has become my best friend on his farm for 10 years for no pay, just for fun, and the love of driving the tractors and listing to the sound of the Deere diesel working for all it could. My first memories of my Grandfather were of him on the fruit farm on his Super A. My stepdad's family had a 37 Deere A, My first two cylinder, we used that old gal for years to haul wood with.

What I'm sayin' is it's been bread into me. When I was in school, there were clicks but the farmers were cool, they even drove there machines to school on FFA day.

I live in southern Michigan, 36 years old, been married once.

I work for the worlds largest pharmacutical manufacture, no college, no major degree, just a skilled trade.

If it were not for having that job, I would not have my small farm. When I punch out, all I want to is get back home so I can work.

Take the good with the bad. If it were not for 40
+ hours a week, I'd never afford to beable to play on the farm.
