A hundred years ago my dad was still recovering from WWI. He got kind of beat up with gas etc laying in those mud trenches. He was no kid as he was like 28 when drafted. Married mom in 21. In those days lot of families lived together until they could get enough together to rent some land etc.
I came along on 9-11- 36 and put a stop to the depression. Just in time for the next big war to come along. Dad used horses up until 1952. Planted, seeded, mowed etc. Did the heavy work with a F12 until he got he big Farmall H (I have it now).
