I didn't actually live on a farm until I went to work and live with my uncle on the "family farm" my Dad and uncle were raised on. I worked on many farms in the area prior to the steady job with my uncle which I took the summer before I started high school. The "family farm" was 160 acres and then uncle rented 80 on one farm and 120 acres on another in addition and did a lot of custom silo filling. We milked 18 to 28 cows, fattened around 200 hogs yearly and always had 2-300 chickens. The first tractor on the farm was uncle's '41 Farmall H, but later on he got a nearly new '48 McCormick-Deering W-6 and the '41 H got traded for a new '50 H. I worked full time there 4 years and 2 months and part-time a year and a half after that until I joined the Air Force in 1954. I helped uncle many times after that when I came home on leave or vacation. I was reporter and vice-president of my high school FFA chapter. I farmed part-time 5 years on my own with rented land and a nearly worn out '53 Super M and '45 H in the early 1980's until I literally went broke doing that.
