I have been around tractor shows for many moons, and I have to say that it seems that a lot of the buisiness dealings I have had with a lot of the JD crowd has been less than satisfactory. Just recently, for example, I had an old boy who was very proud of his umpteen jillion JDs, and wanted some Gs I have been needing to get rid of. After many pix back and forth, he made an offer I accepted, and made arrangements to get them loaded for him. I even took some off to offset his trip costs. In the mean time, several other guys were interested, but the tractors were spoken for. Well, when I didn"t hear from him, and when I called he"d decided to buy one elsewhere. Other trades involving JDs ended the same. On the other hand, when I have dealt with guys on IH or AC stuff, they did all they promised, one guy even sending me money (unasked) to hold a tractor for him. Any time I even suggested that to the JD crowd, you would have thought I had asked them to wallow naked in an ant pile. Maybe its just there are so many JD guys that there is more room for the fringes, but It has really, really put me off. Between that and the goobers at the tractor shows that like to critique the minute differences between a June 13, of 1938 and a July 12, 1938 John Deere B have really put me off the green. That, and a 70lp that tried to kill me last september.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
