I've enjoyed reading posts on this forum the past few years. Only have posted myself a couple of times.
Thought I would share some back.
A few weeks ago I was able to get a cache of old family photo negatives. Some of the pictures I had prints for, others not. So, some new surprises to be had.
In the stash were these 2 photos from I think 1951 (but possible 1952) of corn picking at my late Dad's uncles farm near Wabasso, MN. The man with the tractor was Dad's cousin. Neither Dad or the cousin are around anymore to ask about that fall. But, looks like it was a late harvest or early winter! Seems to be one of those overcast cold days with snow flurries.
The JD tractor is a "late styled" "B". I believe the picker is a Case "PR".
I think the truck towing the wagon is a Dodge.
From what I remember, the uncle sold that farm and moved his family to Colorado in 1953 or so. That puts a end date on these. Also, the camera using the 620 roll film (square pictures like these) was bought in 1951 so far I know. Puts a bracket on the date.
