On the subject of manure we had a large concrete
manure pit and we would dump the manure in there from the cow barn, young stock and horse barn. We would spread that on the fields to be plowed in Feb and March, if the ground was frozen and there's wasn't any snow. We never had any manure loaders all the manure was loaded by hand with
6 tang manure forks. Our neighbor used an ensilage fork for loading his spreader. He was about 6'4" and weighed around 225. He killed himself working. He always raised sweet corn and tomatoes for a cash crop. When he finished the milking he would hop on that Oliver tractor
and cultivate everything even his field corn until late at night. He was up by 4:30am to do the milking too. Hal
PS: Another neighbor had a farm and their son was drafted in 1952. His family had money and kept him in school, but he wouldn't stay in school or on the farm. Sure made him a different man when he came back from Korea. I got married
about the same time I got drafted to one my classmates in 1953. Hal
