Grew up around dairy farms. From 7th grade til a year after grad. I worked for the same farmer. In 10th grade, farmers son-in-law left the farm. I took over pretty much the whole dairy side, never missed a milking morning or night all the way thru HS. We milked between 60-70 cows, had about another 100-150 head of livestock, and 100 sheep, Farmed around 800 acres tillable, hay,grain,soybeans, corn.
Moved out of the area for 5yrs, did dirt work construction. Moved back home, got into the family business (repair shop). Bought a small chunk of land, now we have horses and hay.
All together now I put up about 70-80 acres of hay. Some alfalfa, the rest reed canary or grass alfalfa mix. This spring I will finish off some pasture fencing and start running maybe 5-10 head of cattle to start.
My wifes parents still dairy farm a few miles from us, so I make my way over there whenever they need help. Also have made very good friends with the crop farmer who owns the land around me, part of the hay ground I run is his land and we do it on shares... That`s it in a nutshell BW

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
