I grew up around old people in a rural area where life was hard for them in their earlier years. Most everything was done by hand; manual labor, with the aid of the limited equipment that was available at the time. They cut all their wood used for heating and cooking by hand with a saw or axe so it was a very work oriented living. Most everything that was grown and harvested was also done by hand as the old horse or mule was the only powered equipment available. I am sure if you asked them if they worked hard, the answer would have been an emphatic yes. Approximately, thirty years ago, I bought land on which the timber had been cut and it was a terrible mess. Skidder ruts and brush piles everywhere but I finally got the land cleared and replanted, using tractors and chain saws, etc. I have told everyone I put a lot of work into clearing the brush piles, building roads and filling in ruts to get it where it is today. But, again, most of this work was done by tractors and other mechanical equipment. So, I am almost ashamed to use the word work to describe what I have done in comparison to what the old folks had to do just to stay alive. What do you folks think? Is it fair to actually call what we do today with all the automated equipment that we have available work?

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
