As a "younger" person to most of my peers in this group, a lot of my by hand farming practices were gone by the time I helped and grew up on a dairy farm here in PA. Our hand work was feeding animals and baling hay. However, I have really taken up a joy in reading old books. The Operation, Care and Repair of Farm Machinery books from Deere and Co in the 20/30/40's has really been a favorite of mine when traveling for work by airplane.

I would love to start some organic farming but it just takes so much up front its a tough wall to climb. Most conventional farmers have a hard enough time here breaking even with modern crops, let alone lower yields. "we're not in Kansas" as they say.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
