There were many small farms where I grew up.There was a poultry/dairy farm near us. Friends and I worked on that farm for a long time.We fed hens, picked eggs, put down bedding in the dairy barn.We pushed loose hay down the chutes, clean stalls .We fed a team of work horses.The center had to be swept clean every day and lime spread.I remember loading bundles of corn onto a truck and unloading them near the silo blower.We were not allowed to load corn on to the silo filler.The outfit was powered by an International H tractor.Horses were still used to cut hay.A new baler made haying easier.I have been on the back of a truck picking up hay with a loader before the baler was in use.The farm had two trucks delivering milk door to door.We worked in the milk room after school putting milk thru the cooler and putting the cans into the walkin cooler,We washed bottles and bottled milk.Friday nights were dressed chickens for Saturday run to Boston here the owner delivered chickens and eggs to regular customers.The farm is gone now,There are 100 condominiums where a bunch of kids drove the cows home for after noon milking.I moved away 43 years ago.I worked on 3 farms there from 1950 to 1964.Friends who still live there tell me there is not one farm left.
