I'm just 1/2 hour east of windsor You can't be more than an hour away from me.
A little story to tell. The older fellows, uncles etc. talked about the time shortly after the 2nd W/war that the horses were being sold off because the tractors were becoming more and more comon around home.They were being bought and taken up north to work in the lumber camps draging out log etc. Anyway they said they needed hay and oats to feed these horses. But up in that country one cut a hay a year and maybe one crop of oats in three was comon.After the loging was done the farming was over to.To many rocks and few fields to till in that part of the canadian shield.But like you say those old barns are still standing. During the war my grandfather and his 5 sons were working 4/5 hundred acres with one "Farmall H" ,one "Oliver 60" and one team horses/each between all of them.But at that time there would have been alot of hay and pasture for dairy cows.
It wasen't till about 1950 that they each had a tractor and the last of the horses were gone. My oldest brother talkes about it, he was just a little fellow starting to go to school at that time. He said it was sad to see them go. During field work Dad and the uncles would let him ride on the horse back as the were planting or other field work.
