From the time i was 7 years old i spent most of my free time out there and for the longest time i did not know anything but taters and wheat .Back in 65 we had over 2600 acres in spuds and were farmming ground fifteen miles away from the home place . Thinking back to them days and the old trucks we used today the DOT would have had a field day with them. OLd Cheve and Dodge two tons with home made bed made out of angle iron and oak planks A couple two gallon cans of cheap oil and three or four gallon of water in the cabs of each pump the brakes three times and pray .
