Happy birthday. You have me by about 10 months. I was born out on the farm also but it was 120 acres dad was renting. He had a F 12 and horses. Old Dollie and Coalie. Team of blacks. I remember dad bringing the white Ivory looking decorations from the harness into the house and polishing them up. Had a red tassel on their bridles also. I don't remember not having electricity as I believe the house was new, very small, as the old house had burned down just before dad moved there. Most of the neighbors did not have electricity until late 40's, early 50's. My folks never did have running water and the old farm place out here, that I am caretaker of the building site, still does not have running water. I never had more than one class mate in my 8 years of country school and a couple years were alone. Thing is , mom and dad had seven kids and he saved enough money farming that place 11 years to put a down payment on the 80 he eventually bought. Never realy caught up after that though.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
