Interesting comments about how much tractor a person 'needs' for 150 acres. 1948, Dad had a '39 WC and a Model C on 200 acres, then bought another 160 acres. '51, traded the C for a second WC with mounted corn picker. Mixed farm, oats, corn, hay, pasture. Sold the 160 in '54, bought another 40 in '57?, bought another 320 in 61, so total of 560 acres.
