I grew up on a farm in south central Missouri in the 1940s and 1950s. The main farm was around 400 acres with 80 acres a couple miles away. We had IH tractors and raised crops, and hay and silage for the cattle. Early on there were sheep, pigs, chickens and dairy cows. By 1950, it was only chickens and beef cattle and I barely remember any draft horses. My dad got rid of the horses after WW II as soon as he could get rubber tired tractors. The earliest tractor I remember was a McCormick 15-30, but the first tractor on that farm was a Titan 10-20. Most of the crops were used on the farm for livestock feed. The main exception to that was wheat which was sold because of the price support situation back then. I went to the local university and got an engineering degree and then worked for a major chemical company until I retired 12 years ago. Now I have 42 acres and raise some hay, pumpkins, a garden and a little corn so I can have ear corn for feeding my equipment at tractor shows. Part of the property is rented out for pasture to a neighbor who keeps around 10 cows with calves there. My stable has one dog, and a contingent of vintage IH tractors and implements, some of which get used on the farm, but the main farm tractor is a more modern Kubota.
