As a "younger" person to most of my peers in this group, a lot of my by hand farming practices were gone by the time I helped and grew up on a dairy farm here in PA. Our hand work was feeding animals and baling hay. However, I have really taken up a joy in reading old books. The Operation, Care and Repair of Farm Machinery books from Deere and Co in the 20/30/40's has really been a favorite of mine when traveling for work by airplane. I think if people read more, they would remember more, as there are lots of very good details in these old books. I know the days of the family farm are further away than they are closer, but we can still maintain the same values.
This passage is my favorite. In fact, my parents have posted it right at their front door as a reminder why they still fight the good fight each day as times get tougher. I would love to start some organic farming but it just takes so much up front its a tough wall to climb. Most conventional farmers have a hard enough time here breaking even with modern crops, let alone lower yields. "we're not in Kansas" as they say.
