Ya, I have plenty of old pictures here of a diverse operation. I don't know if they seperated the cream or not. I doubt it. There was a milk plant a mile from home since the horse and buggy days. It was open until 1975 in fact, and I had a milk route from 73 til they closed. They bought whole milk in cans, so there was no need to seperate it. When I was a kid myself, we had chickens and a hog along with milking cows. The dairy cattle were the money maker though. There was a grape vine, a few different kinds of apple trees and a pear tree.The grapes are gone, but we still have apples, pears and a peach tree. My mother always gardened, but not on the scale that my wife does. The wife even has a good sized commercial greenhouse, but that stuff is all her thing and she does it because she wants to. We wouldn't have to do all that, and we wouldn't if I had to take care of it at the end of the day.
I just have to chuckle when somebody buys a few acres and says they're going to grow enough food to be self sufficient. If I say anything at all, it's just to make enough money from one thing so you can buy everything else and don't have to mess with every animal and crop on the face of the earth. They usually think twice when I ask if they're going to grow wheat and make their own flour too?
