Hey my friends I got to thinking about when I was 3 or 4 would have been around 1965 or 6 my grandfather we called Big Daddy farmed around 40 or 50 acres with a 8n ford and grew cotton. He hired people to chop and pick it. I remember playing in the cotton trailer I didn't realize I was actually working packing the cotton down. I would always run out on the front porch and cry when I heard the tractor crank up and him leaving but he would always see me and come take me with him. I farmed a lot of acres standing between his legs driving or setting on his leg. I'm sure I aggravated the hell out of him but he didn't mind. We would pull the trailer to the gin and go into the general store while waiting and buy candy and eat it on the ride back home. He died in 67 and I'm glad I have those memories of him. But what I was wondering is how much money do you think he would have cleared after paying for everything labor, fuel seed and candy! This would be in Fayette County in west Tennessee. Just wondering how we had everything we needed on that little bit along with my dad working driving a dump truck. It sure was a good time and wonderful memories that I cherish. Oh and by the way I learned the hard way to listen when he told me not to touch that pretty orange manifold on that 8N when we came home one night! Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
