Dad said back in the day before county highway depts all the able bodied men brought wagons to the nearest gravel pit in our neighborhood. Pulled by horses. This was done every August. during slow time on the farm.The wagons had special floorboards that could be turned at any angle from 0 to 90 degrees to release the load of gravel on county roads. Never mentioned the costs to do this, they knew the roads had to be maintained to get around in the winter/spring. Guessing this was 1900 to 1920.The first tractor Dad heard of around the neighborhood was about 1925-30.
