In the early 50's, worked on neighboring farm, believe it or not in Northern Westchester County NY, just 30 miles or so outside of the Rotten Apple, it was 20 milk cows with floor pail milkers, carry to the milk house, dump into cans, heist into spring fed concrete vat to cool; one 8n tractor and an old Wisconsin powered NH 77 baler.
In the early 60's, again a neighbor's farm, another 30 miles out of the city in Dutchess County, 60 cows, floor pails into a dumping station and bulk tank; JD A, B, and 50, #9 mower, crimper, 24T baler, & NI chopper w/concrete stave silo.
In the early 70"s, bought my own place in St. Lawrence County NY, milked 50 head, pipeline, bulk tank, concrete stave silos, fleet of old iron w/one new diesel 70hp tractor for the heavy work.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
