It was the same for me. Pa sat me on the Farmall A doing finish work, and raking when I was 7 yrs old. By the time I was 9 I was driving the MD and the Cat at 10. At 12 I rolled a Ford 8N, but it wasn't that I didn't know what I was doing wasn't dangerous, but a total misunderstanding of mortality. Farming in those days was a family venture, and everyone had their role beginning at pre-school age, even if it was nothing more than feeding the dog. I remember one of my first chores delegated by my Dad, and that was to carry the honey bucket out to the privy. That job had to be carried out without incident before Pa would allow more responsible jobs such as driving tractor.
