I'm just screwing around trying to post a few photos. I like seeing other people's farm photos - so here are a few of mine. I'm building a new hay-barn - (by myself) on a side hill I dug out. Yesterday was one of those rare Fall days - with some actual New York State sunshine - i.e. no rain, no snow. I'm hoping to get a roof on before heavy snow - but I doubt I'll make it. One roof will be holding solar-panels. Slow going trying to build and watch a three-year kid at the same time. All the animals seem to be getting ready for change. During the course of the day - I took a few photos of . . . a flying squirrel inside our house, wild turkeys with the goats in the field, a few white-tail deere watching me (bad photo), cows coming home from the hill (distant shot - can't hardly see them in the photo), a two trailer loads of small tractors I brought home in the morning - consisting of four Beaver tractors, one Shaw Du-al, and a Standard Twin with sulky. The photo of my daughter is an older photo - the possum was caught in a live-trap in our corn-field. He (she?) got relocated. Also a few shots of my kids on old Deere log-skidders (440 and a 540). By the way - I caught the flying squirrel in our bedroom - and threw the little guy outside. He ran a circle around the house, climbed a tree, and jumped back into the house through an attic vent. third party image

Hello I am from this area in NYS. I live on a farm on Route 8 just north of Sidney and just south of Mount Upton. I just moved here from a farm in Saratoga and this area is much quieter and less populated. The land is cheaper too because you can still buy it at ag value. If anyone would like to chat I left my email address.

Great place you've got!!! Great pictures!!! Great country--but I'm not suprised. I live down a little southwest of Binghamton on the NY/PA border. I love our whole area.

Took many a trip up I-88 when our daughter was going to Cobleskill.

Do the NY State Troopers still hang out near that big curve as you are coming NE on 88 just before Richmondville? NOT going to tell you why I asked that question!!!!!

Is that I-88 I see in the background of one of those pics? Did they ever get that section open near Sidney?

Yes - that is I-88. It wasn't there when I moved here. It opened in 1980 and ruined many local farms - cut many in half and farmers lost legal access to their own land. When the snow is on the ground I can't hear it - but - some days it sounds like tractor-trailers are coming through our house - even though it's miles away. From my perspective, the Interstate has helped to ruin this area. This part of New York - mostly dairy farms - used to be sort of a secret - since there was no way to get here. Now?? People from all over the country and world drive by - see something they like - pay a huge price for it - and build more houses. And shortly thereafter - complain about noisy chickens, stinking cows, slow tractors on the road, etc. And - yes - it is partially re-opened. I had some equipment to pick up in Pennsylvania and I waited all summer for the Interstate to re-open. I didn't want to drive through that mess with a trailer while closed and detoured. It's kind of amazing and depressing at the same time - seeing all the tax-payer money being put into fixing the huge-break -considering the highway is not very old. They call the deaths of those two truckers an "act of nature." Hmmm - I'd call it an "act of engineering screwups." The flood we had was a bad one - but - that's why we have designated 100 year flood-plains. The State is now bragging about how it got what normally would be a two-year repair done in six months.

the dairy farm I grew up on just outside of Sidney was one farm that was cut in half. I was barely eating solid food when I-88 opened. I commuted to college in Cobleskill in the mid 90's so I've been down I-88 many times. Unfortunatly there isn't enough time in the day to complain about New york State. Mostly because I'm too busy working to pay my own farms taxes. I do miss those valleys out there, what we call rocks and hills out here in Western NY arn't nothing compared to back east.

Did you go to the ag-division of the Cobleskill college? The last John Deere dealership I worked at - in Oneonta - took in one apprentice every year from the Cobleskill Ag. College - to give some "hands on" training. Somes guys did great - and some were in shock - when they found out how a tractor-shop operates. Two of the old-time mechanics I worked with came from Sidney-Center.

Went through the John Deere program. Then worked for Catskill Tractor in Franklin for a few years. "Rocky" was the service manager at the time. He used to work for Lane Way.

Nice photos, looks like a great place to make home.

Don't ask me how I know...but those flying squirrels don't make good pets even though they do like hanging out in the warmth of a house.

Nice pics. Someday I want to figure out how to post pics too. Too many irons right now.
That pic of the little tike in the red coat is neat with the scenic background. Looks like it could win some sort of photo award.
