I was listening to Merle Haggard song Are the good times really over. This question is for you old time dairy farmers. I am not old enough to of had this experience but. Was farming and the country better in a slower paced time then today? Do you remember when in say 1949 or 50 when the local dealer delivered your new (insert your favorite brand of tractor) and was service minded after the sale. You milked maybe 30 or 40 cows put in 50 acres of corn had 60 of good hay 5 of oats and new seeding a year. You and your 3 closest neighbors filled silo together with a big noon meal. When you had time in the winter to cut back hedge rows so you could farm the hole field around here anymore no one seems to have time for that and there is more vacant fields so they just farm more ground instead of keeping back the first 10 feet of the field that gets smaller with each passing year. Do you remember switching a surge bucket milker while listing to the ball game on the radio on a hot August night thinking about a dish of ice-cream when you are done with chores or how about when you got your first dumping station or the first one in town to go to a pipe line milker. I worked on farms from the late 70 to mid 80 till I realized I would never start farming at a young ages from scratch . Were you better in the forties and fifties then this fast paced computer and cell phone world of to day.
Just wondering North east puller
