When I saw that 1st picture, I thought there were some neighbors tractors in the line too, but grandad said it was all theirs. My Grandfather, 2 brothers, his father, and a brother-in-law, incorporated in the early 60s. One brother took an accounting class, one took an electricity class, another took a masonry class. They built a new milking parlor and cow lots themselves. From the stories I've heard, my great-grandfather, Chester, must have had a good head on his shoulders. Grandad said when he was little, they'd have to run into Wards, every night it seemed, for more milk cans because they were constantly growing the herd and filling the cans they had. One day, after they moved to the new barn, Grandad said Chester told him he was buying another 4020 (they had one already and maybe a 3020). Grandad didnt think they could do it, but his dad told him "we have cows to feed". There are slides in this pack of the bulk milk tank in the new barn overflowing. They got up to milking around 200. I dont know how many acres but I read an article Grandad was in back then where he said they had 700 acres of corn that year. Chester never had a Deere until they quit building 2cylinders. It's been all Deere ever since to this day.

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
