In the late 40's and on thru the 50's, there was an even mix of every brand around here. Many of the farms right around home were cattle and tobacco farms, with just a bit a row crops. Those farms tended to use Ferguson's and Fords primarily, with a lot of small Farmalls as "tobacco tractors". The row croppers had all sorts of brands. A fair number of AC and Olivers in the area once upon a time, very few Molines. Also a decent showing from Case until the late 60's.
There was a succesful IH dealer just down the road, so you'd see quite a few binders. By the late 60's the big guys were making the switch to Deere's. Still a lot of MF's and Fords on the small places. In the 70's as many of the brands fell to the wayside, Deere seemed to take over here. You'll still see some older (mid 70's on back) IH's, but once it was CaseIH, they more or less faded into oblivion here. Still quite a few MF's, New Holland has held on to a loyal following, but late 80's on, probably 75% or more new tractors are Deere's. Many of the faithful followers of other colors have even traded in their off brands on older used Deere. That may be in part to do with the fact we don't have much of a CaseIH dealer presence in the area, but Deere, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, and to a point Kubota has strong dealers. I can't recall the last time I saw a red combine in our county. All green there.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
