I grew up on a small dairy farm also, in Northern Kentucky, just 5mi from Cincinnati, Ohio. My Dad and Uncle were partners from after WWII until about 1962-63. My Uncle took a 'town' job, so it was my Dad and me as a helper-I was 6-7 yrs old. We also had a small dairy store, which my Mom ran. From the mid 50s milk had to be pasteurized so every day Dad took our milk in cans to a large dairy plant and brought home cartoned, pasteurized milk for the store. We milked 18-20 head, and put up hay-small square bales. We were surrounded by growing older suburbia, so we also did a lot of custom work, from plowing gardens, finishing yards for new homes, baling hay, bush hog work, and selling firewood. But what is amazing to me is-our farm was 33 acres! It had started off at 40 but the state highways kept creeping in due to eminent domain, and took land to reroute or enlarge the roads around us. We had no health insurance with 6 kids. After my uncle left Dad only ever bought one new piece of equipment- a Woods 6' rotary mower. Our big tractor was the 300u, along with a 340u and an 8n, Dad's favorite. Mark.

A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
