Walt, sounds like you may be of the same mindset as some of the folks of that era. I live in a part of the country that HAD some of the best farmland in the country. BUT, we may also be facing a man made disaster here. greed takes over, tear out every fence row, cut down all the trees, get rid of all the building sites with the exception Hog and chicken facilities.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
