having been raised on the n.dak prairie the south west corner in emmons county i look forward to reading the artical, there are many pictures in the flickr colume on the great decline of the farmers from that area.we were in the transision years late 40,s early 50,s when many farmers were moving from horses and threshing machines to combines we were one of the first farmes with our owen power plant and indoor plumbing,that would have been about 1949 when dad finesed those jobs. we did all our haying with horses.the little town i was from braddock had a population of over 300 at one time and now has only about 30 pepole in it, o yea the old harvester dealer is still open but only repares things now, we moved away in 1954 after dad dies and a older brother,it was to mutch for my mother to handle so we came east to michigan were all the jobs were booming in the mid 50,s we like most every one else worked in the auto plants. now they are also in big trouble,i get back to funerals and weddings, still cant get over the vastnes of the place. never could get over the farm i live in on the edge of detroit and most times you will still see a old Farmall H or M in my driveway, god i even had a 715 combine in the neoiborhood for a while till the peploe bitched about it.yes the hi school and the church are all closed in that little town way back there on the prarie,
