Dave: Around 1953 a feed mill was built about 1 mile from us. We were milking about 18-20 cows, and he would grind our grain do mixing, and the price was right so we basically retired our old grinder, bear in mind it was so old it probably was about to retire itself. My dad had done custom bench sawing of fire wood but that was dieing. We never owned a thresher, however our W4 and H both saw a lot of belt time on a neighbors thresher, but combines were moving in on that.
