I learned farming with both horses and tractors but really preferred tractors. Soloed on a WC Allis when I was 6 and could do everything, including plowing, at age 8. Fleet expanded to include a WD and later a D17. So, at times, we would have three tractors out working, sometimes in the same field. A '36 WC, a '49 WD and a '59 D17. Retired the horses in 1947. Gas was easy to get again. I remember during WWII (The Big One) when my grandfather would start cutting a big field of hay with the horses and several days later still be out there going around and around and we would be trying to keep up with a wagon and hayloader pulled by a tractor (me driving) as the hay was drying. Years later, Uncle Sam spent about a million dollars teaching me to fly airplanes and helicopters and after 52 years of doing that (still am) I find myself on the same farms I grew up on raising corn and soybeans. No more holsteins, thank you.
