I missed the crosscut saw and the loose hay by a very few years. I did handle a lot of bales by hand, both before and after the cows used them. I split wood by hand, 20-40 cords a year, depending on how much help Dad hired. Gathered a lot of sap with pails, either wallowing through the snow or stumbling around on snowshoes. My three least favorite jobs were picking stone, picking up potatoes, and planting trees.
I haven't planted any potatoes for sale in twenty years, the trees are ready for the their second or third thinning, I bale with a kicker baler, and most of the hay gets sold. The neighbor's cattle graze the pastures, and he does the fences. The maple trees are all connected with tubing, and I split wood hydraulically. I still get accusations of "abuse" from my boys, because they have to unload bales, haul and stack wood, and repair tubing. I am sure that in time they will appreciate what they learned on the farm.
