[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 371909, member: 2979"] My folks bought what would be the family farm in the late 1940's. Farmed 2 quarters and an 80 with a B Farmall that pulled 2-14 plow or an 8' disk. Checked planted the corn so you could cultivate both ways no chemicals. 2 row corn planter and cultivator. G-4 combine and 12ft swather. Milked 24 Holstine cows and just sold the cream. I cant imagine any one working like that again. Made more money selling the last quarter of land in early 80's than they made all those years working the land. Dad took the capital gains tax with a grain of salt so to speak but it made my folks retirement. They traveled a lot around the states and I don't think they missed one. Had a new house in town, drove the best Oldsmobile you could get, lived a long life just shy of 90 and passed happy. Even left some for us kids. You just don't see that anymore. LB [/QUOTE]
