I'll be 32 next week. Wife says I was born about 30 years to late, but I like classic tractors, rural America, and if given the choice of topics of discussion, I choose tractors and farming every time. Dad says he remembers back in the 50's when every 40 to 80 acres in our county had an active family dairy farm on them, and there was a creamery in each small town, about 10 miles apart. Today you can count the dairy farms on one hand and still have an extra finger. The owners of those dairy farms are all 60+ years old with no one interested in taking over when they are finished. I'm certain that in the next ten years family dairy farms in our county will be gone forever. In our small community of about 500 residents there were three car dealerships and two implement dealers. Today you can't buy a hamburger after 1 p.m., and would struggle to find a fuel cap for a car or tractor, much less a combined total of 5 different dealerships. Would have loved to see life back in, as dad says, "the good times". There are a few guys like me who still raise beef cattle, but it doesn't matter if you have 5 cows or 100, it is still only a hobby. All of us guys, and most of our wives too, work full time off the farm to support our families.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
