My great grandpa homestead here in 1910. During the first few years he worked at the what you would call "BTO" ranch/farm just north of us. The guy ran thousands of sheep over thousands of acres, had his own steam tractor and threshing machine, broke sod for everyone and had lots of hired hands. He encouraged his hired hands to take up homesteads so that when they failed (and a lot of them did) he could come in and swoop it up. That never happened to us but the ranch changed hands a few more times. The last guys that owned it bought a Wagner TR 24 tractor in 1960. For you guys that don't know what that is, its a 300 hp four wheel drive articulated tractor. Google up "wagner tractors". Everybody else at the time including us were putzing around with JD 830s, IH WD9s, Case 500s, and D6 and TD 14A crawlers. So that tractor set the neighborhood on fire when they bought it. They farmed until 1991 when they sold out and us and two neighbors split the place.
