Please take a look at the "Living History Farm" web site. It has tons of information about rural farm life during the 1920 to 1940. It tells the story of farm machinery, crops and life during this revolutionary time. I think the site is great. It makes me proud to have once worked with the developers at NETV (Nebraska Educational Telecommunications). This site is going to be used as learning resource in many Nebraskans schools. Hope to see this site grow as well as the living farm. I have Emailed the producer checking to see if this will be made into a Documentary. Will post when if find out

You haven't lived until to picked and husked corn with a wagon and a team of horses during winter in knee deep snow. To think I liked it at the time.

About 1956 my dad planted 5 acres of corn and told my brother and me that it was going to be hand husked. I was about 11 so I didn't get as much grief as my older brother. I mostly drove the tractor and learned what Gee and Haw meant as Dad explained how it was easier with horses pulling the wagon.
Dad ended up doing most of it while my brother and I were in school. To compensate for the lack of horses, he bolted a 1x4 to the cluch lever on the D2 so he could just whack that to move.

Pretty neat site. Thanks. Can't imagine myself out in the field picking and husking by hand. Then again, can't imagine doing work like they did back then.
