Guess it depends on what men did with their lives. An old friend of mine, who was killed in a tractor accident about thirty years ago, milked about 80 cows, planted and harvested tomatoes and corn on every acre he could find, and ran 6 or 8 miles from his farm was considered a BTO back in the fifties. His father and three brothers all had farms, and two of them still survive and farm with sons, and SIL's. Cliff was like another father to me in many ways, and has guided me in what I do with my life. He was in the fire company; he was a Mason; he didn't spend too much time sitting. Even though he died early, his legacy survives. His brother bought his farm after some years, and it is still one of the premier places in our region. He is now gone, but his SIL and grandchildren still are about the biggest operation for many miles. Another brother and his son are famous for the embryos they ship to Japan and Europe. Cliff had an RC Case at one time and a bunch of A JD's. He also bought an S88 diesel, one of the first around here. His death was caused by an 806- about the biggest one around at the time. But, he and his hands covered a lot of ground with the machinery they had. A 237 picker on an A, and an old Diamond T-Reo. He was color blind- his gear came in a vast assortment. Thinking about him makes me sad there are few like him today....

I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
