Kelly, Its been a long time since I did any serious farm work. I really left the farm in 1962 when I graduated from High School even though I farmed my Grandfather"s 135 acres until 1964. I graduated from Purdue (yep, John T Nordhoff and I grew up and went to Purdue at the same time but unfortunately didn"t know each other) in 1966 with a degree in Vo Ag but joined the Army in 1967 after doing a years worth of work on my MS. Joined the Army on 5 July 67 and the rest is history as they say. However, the greatest thing is those old
tractors are still as appealing--if not more--than they were back then. I bought an H when my
Grandfather died in 1960 with a breaking plow, disc, and cultivators and paid it off in a year. In 1960,$1,000 was a FORTUNE for a High School Sophomore!! But wouldn"t trade it! Pop had the Super M, the 1944 M, and a 1952 Ford 8N, and farmed 365 acres in addition to the dairy--40 head in continuous production. Needless to say we were extremely active in the FFA and 4H--what a way to grow up--wouldn"t trade a day of it for anything in the world. A pic of the "fleet" on our place in Tennessee! Have shared this one with a couple of regulars but looking forward to next year when I can finally retire and enjoy them, the family, and friends! Steve
