I see a lot of the same things I remember as a kid growing up on a farm in NE Iowa. Dad milked dairy cows until I was 13 and of course had to haul manure every day, but 5 days a week I was in school for that. However, I remember well climbing up in the silo and throwing down silage, and doing a lot of the things on weekends and holidays. Milking itself was pretty warm because of the cows body heat and heated milk house. Then we fed out 300-400 hogs, and grinding feed, etc. was cold. After that, beef stock cows were still better than milking.
Also remember at times we had to wait for the ground to freeze solid enough to pick corn, and some of the coldest times were greasing the picker on a -10 or -20 morning. Had a JD 60 with a 227 picker and when you started picking, from some directions it wasn't too bad because the mounted picker would funnel the engine heat back over you and the husking beds would shield you from the sides.
