My parents met while working at a feed mill - dad was in the mill and my mother was in the store. That was the 1940's. I worked in a mill in the early 70's after school, Saturdays and summers between college years. It was an older mill built in the 1920's so not really set up for modern machinery like fork lifts. Some farmers were still buying bagged feed at that time. Did a lot of lifting. I remember on senior weekend of high school being at a party until midnight, going in to work at 2:30 in the morning and myself and anther person carried 20 ton of bagged fertilizer, 80 lb bags into the ware house to get off the tractor trailer. No one could understand why by 8 o'clock that night I couldn't stay awake for any more partying. Also had a deal in the summer of 73 when there was a shortage of soybean meal so boss bought a box car of peanut meal, 55 ton of 100 lb bags. A bunch of us carried every bag off the car onto trucks, then at the mill carried every bag off the trucks and later someone bought 10 ton so you can guess what we did for those. No heat in the mill and all bagged feed was hand tied - can't do that with gloves. Despite all the hard labor I really did enjoy working there for $2.50 an hour. Now I'm tired out from typing this note. LOL
