I tied the wires on a Case hand tie baler when I was 10. Dad shoved the needles, 12 year old cousin Fred drove the 8N Ford, and 13 year old cousin Jim walked along with a pitchfork to help the anemic pick-up system get the hay into the baler. Quite the little crew- they'd have sent dad to prison if he tried that now. I was too little to buck bales, so I drove the IH one ton truck to pick them up. Summer of '58, after the milk price had tanked, and dad couldn't afford to buy alfalfa. He might as well have just sold the cows instead- the hay was so bad the production cratered, and we were out of business in 2 years.
I also remember him shouldering 100 lb. sacks of feed, and carrying them from the house to the barn, which was a fair piece. Always wondered why he didn't just drive out there.
