Dad, along with farming, did discing for others, mostly for flower growers, and weed control. I worked 2nd shift at my factory job, and continued his discing business, I still use Dad's A/C Model M crawler for discing. It's like the bunny. It just keeps going, and going I still use his 54 Chevy flat bed to haul it also. I added mowing. I have a 6 ft woods mower, and added a 8 ft flail mower. Probably more than you wanted to know , but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Stan

I work full time off the farm about 33 miles away from home in a generator maufacturing plant as the material handler/parts person for a production line. I was born on a dairy farm, but my parents decided to walk away from this life 40 years ago. I always regretted that they did this, but I was only 4 years old at that time. I couldn't tell them to stay on the farm. My wife and I bought our own farm finally in 1998. Would like to farm full time someday, but the health benefits at my work are phenomenal..... Someday maybe.....Someday?

Got to thinking ,after I posted,that in 1959 we were'nt using the interstates yet and that once the inter-states came in those little establishments were probably doomed.
Thanks for the update.

Tired, retired, twice divorced, 77 year old man with 2 grown daughters living in the country in a small house by myself on a small lot 9 miles from Indiana and 12 miles from Ohio in the poverty ridden state of Michigan. I was a factory maintenance man most of my working life repairing NC and CNC Machine tools the last 15 years of it. Raised on a farm near here I have always had a love for old tractors and now have a share of 6 of them, 3 John Deeres, 2 Farmalls and a Minneapolis-Moline. I still fiddle around some on a neighboring friend's farm and "Mom and Pop" machine shop being sometimes productive but mostly just trying to stay out of the way.

North central No. Dakota. Retired farmer and truck driver. Still own 80 acres that's rented out.
 
I was in the Army for ten years then in the reserves for twenty more. I was born and raised on this farm about twenty miles west of Dubuque, Iowa. I farmed full time after the Army but with kids coming I needed more income. I went to work at a local John Deere dealership in 1978. I have worked at three different JD dealerships. I have been a mechanic, service manager, salesman, and sales manager. I left the last dealership six years ago. We finally had everything paid off so I could make it with just farming, trading/selling equipment, and repair work.

My four sons all live close by. This last fall we bought a friend's trucking business out after he passed on with cancer. So we now have three semis hauling hay, grain, and feed. I don't do as much repair business as many of the smaller farms, that where my main customers, are gone now.

I am sixty-one years old. My hands really bother me(carpal tunnel and arthritis) if I wrench all day. So I drive for the boys some and do some repair work. Generally semi retired.
 
I live in NE Arkansas on the farm that my grandfather bought in 1908. I raised broilers until a couple of years ago. I sold the poultry farm and hoped to retire on the 300+ acre family farm and raise cattle. I've got a small 100 cow herd but I had to take a part time job with the State to pay my insurance.
 
I'm a Chemistry teacher. I live in Northern BC, Canada, but spend my Summer months on my little 40ac farm in Nova Scotia, near the village where I was born and raised. I'm going to grow/raise something when I retire (8yrs), I'm just not sure what.

I've just read all 6 pages of this post, and i have to tell you, I really like the folks here! There are a lot of down-to-earth, country folks, with the voices, and wisdom of experience.

Thanks, to all of you...

Happy New Year!

If you get the right orthopedic surgeon there are injections right into the inflamed area that can fix that (during an office visit) and any other joints that really cause you a lot of pain...no backs.

Also I get "Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM" capsules from Swanson vitamins on line and that takes time to do the trick, but works.

I couldn't close my fists about 5 years ago, first one hand and then the other. If I tried to go over the point where it stopped closing, it would snap and go full shut and shoot pain all over. Then snap again as I was opening my hand.

The shot fixed it immediately, but by the time the other hand acted up the doc was so busy that he quit doing hands, just the big joints in your body. So I went to the alternative medicine I mentioned and today both hands work just fine and no pain.

Over time if you do a lot of mechanic'n and your hands start hurting again, just get back on the pills. Dosage is on the container. When I first started I took double the dosage and halved it into morning and evening doses. After they quit hurting I just quit taking it unless I needed it.

HTH, did me.

I was born and raised on a dairy farm near Swartz Creek, Michigan and have been farming my entire life in the same area. I still farm nearly a thousand acres of wheat and soybeans and for the past thirty years I have also been a pilot and I have logged over 7,000 instrument hours in the air. A lot of my flying for the past several years has been flying "Angel Flights" which transports people in need to distant medical facilities for treatment. Also have been collecting two-cylinder "20" and "30" series John Deeres and enjoy showing at the "Expo" in Waterloo. My wife is retired elementary teacher from the Grand Blanc School District. Our daughters had a suprise birthday party for me last spring and told me that I was seventy years old. I am not sure that they were not a little careless with the truth as I don't know where the time has gone. My bucket list would fill a washtub. I love this site and the people here. You all contribute to a vast wealth of knowledge.
