We used to fill trench silos. We used wagons with a false end gate. A tractor stayed at the silo to drag silage of the wagons and if lucky had help spreading it with a fork. He would then pack it down with the tractor. We would swap work from farm to farm. We had a WD and the other farmers would want Dad to unload wagons and pack silage. It was a big day when my Uncle said Sid can use my WC to drag wagons. Toward the end when thing started changing, Dad bought a chopper and we would borrow as many wagons as we could. Dad would chop, I would drag wagons out of the field. When wagons were all filled, Dad would unhook the chopper. Then I would move wagons around he would drag the load off pack it and go another round. When it came milk time, I would go milk and Dad would stay and unload spread and pack the last loads of the day. In the mornings Dad would milk while I greased checked oil and gas. I would be back to help clean barn and milkers. We would eat breakfast and go at it again.
