Bought this 250 acres 50 years ago. Wife and I both had off farm jobs but managed to plow it with 2 wd 45s lots of night till mid night. Raised 85 bu acre corn with 16 cent farm fuel. Sold most of the corn in ear to local feed mill. Hand scooped 13 wagon loads one day remember that. Folks say these young ones can,t get started farming but folks said the same thing to me back then. Can,t tell it by the photos but about 200 ft elevation drop from where the photos are made to the end of field. Back then we farmed all the way to the river but tree huggers got that stopped several years ago. Wetland you pay the taxes and they tell you what you cannot do with your land. Now days have to hard land the complete farm to prevent erosion. First photo shows old dozer piles. Last one is when I left tonight. Removed the piles and trees in the fence line between the two fields. Been an interesting 50 years. Oh when I bought it paid $350.00 acre and like to have got disowned from my own family and the community , everone thought I was crazy to pay that for land.
