It was a happy time of my life. Started high school in 1970. Graduated college 1979. Took a year off from college to work full time on the farm. Farmed with Dad & brother the whole time. Except 1976 when we had the worst drought I can remember. We had 15-17 quarters of land . Some 10 miles away in one direction and more land 15 miles away in the other direction from our main farm. Might not seem like much now but I could out run our tractors in road gear and we plowed most of our fields back then. The only farm equipment Dad would buy new was a swather & grain drill. Everything else was used. We grew wheat, oats, corn, alfalfa, hay, cows, pigs, chickens, horses. Mostly open station tractors. 2 with cabs but no heat or AC. We looked at it as better than nothing.
