My round trip milage today was about 80mi. Here are some pics. along the way. Back 50 yrs ago all these farms were active. My dad and grandfather made their living selling and servicing Case and New Idea equipment to the farmers who owened these farms. My wife and I continued that business until 1986. My dad became a Case dealer in 1932. It's sad to see What was once the backbone of our country deteriorate to this point. I haven't taken pics of our old mill towns up and down the Mohawk Valley yet, but there is not much to see; just abandon brick factories with crumbling smoke stacks and mill ponds that no longer power industry. SADD, to say the least!! Farm machinery pioneers such as Jerome I Case, Cyras McCormic, and John Deere were born here in the north east, and migrated west to Wisconsin and Ill. to manufacture their farm equipment Today we, NYS are the #3 milk producing state in the US, but there are very few small family 50 cow dairys left. Now it's 500 head + operations with bunk silos and white snakes strewn all over. No character, other than function. Our country built it's might around Agriculture and Manufacturing. Today, both are dying.
