I remember fondly as a kid looking forward to when the guy who leased our land would come and plow the fields to plant wheat each fall. Sometimes he'd let us ride in the cab...or my dad would let sit on his lap and drive the 135 as he harrowed the fields.
Sometimes Dad would stick us in the front bucket of the Ford 4500 backhoe and he would lift us into the apple tree along side the road in our south field and we'd pick buckets and buckets of fruit and mom would make pie and my Dad's favorite...dumplings.
I still remember when he bought the combine almost thirty years ago now...it was a Massey 510 and I remember him harvesting the wheat along side the sharecropper with his Gleaner. There is truly much to be said for the color contrast between Massey Red and the golden wheat.
Our cheap thrill was to engage the auger to unload the wheat. I remember opening it too early and some spilled and dad wasn't happy. But then again, I also remember when he backed up the Combine into a tree. To this day I still dont know what what some of the words he said in Greek or English mean LOL.
The wheat is starting to turn golden here and it always brings back some happy memories each summer.
