I was born in 1952 and grew up on a 160 acre dairy farm in northern New York about 20 miles inland from the St. Lawrence River. My family had 24 cows, a 1927 Fordson and 2 teams of horses. The milk went into cans. Hay was put up loose with a hayloader and corn was chopped into a snow fence "silo" with an ensilage cutter. My father bought a 1952 8N with a 2 bottom 3ph plow in 1955, put up a concrete stave silo in 1958, a JD 14T baler in 1959, an MF 65 high arch with a 4 bottom 3ph plow in 1960, a used NH 611 chopper in 1963, a JD number 9 3ph hitch mower and a 3ph snow blower in 1964, built a new milk house and bulk tank in 1965, a NH 461 haybine and a JD self unloading wagon in 1967, another JD self unloading wagon in 1968, a JD 34 chopper and replaced the Fordson with an MH 101 Jr. standard in 1969, a Patz silo unloader in 1970 when I went off to college, an MF 165 high arch diesel with a loader in 1971 and a NI roll-a-bar style rake in 1972. The herd had crept up to 37 cows and the horses disappeared in that time period. I took over in 1974.

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner. ...
