When I was 8 or so my mother was sick with cancer(survived it and all is well now) I stayed with my grandfather on his farm for a couple of weeks.
He had an older style farm and ours was a little more modern. We cut grandpas wood with a buck saw and I helped carry in wood after splitting it. We had a fuel oil furnace at home.
When doing his chores at grandpas we started with grabbing 12 ears of corn or so, and running them through the crank sheller to feed the hens. And I GOT TO CRANK IT. Then to the hand grinder mounted on a stump. I got to crank again. He milked a herford cow for milk. We had a Jersey.
