Having grown up on a farm and still farming I've seen a big change in equipment. Heck it self drives now, and has a radio and a/c
I can remember riding with dad on an open cab combine harvesting corn. Bundled up like Ralph on A Christmas Story hahaha

Our kids and grandkids will never know how much fun life was without all this technology in their lives. We had this thing called an imagination, and we used it regularly!!!! Our minds weren't told what to do and when/how to do it.........

I served as an adult chaperone for a school field trip to an historic farm with my 10 year old niece. I found it very annoying that most of the "antiques" were stuff that I grew up with.

Yes, we always ground ear corn for the cows we milked, but my youngest memories were of picking corn by hand. Later we progressed to shocking corn. Eventually we started using a corn picker. I have helped on the farm a few times in the last few years and I have found that the I no longer know much about farming! My 14 year old nephew could drive the tractors better than I could. Apparently John Deere still feels it necessary to completely change tractor transmissions every few years.

Well Ron at least you had tractors, our tractor was named Mabel. Tc

One of my uncles only farmed with his Belgian horses right up into the 90s. Here is my uncle Lee at the front of the wagon.

When I inherent the family photo book I,ll get some of our old and new out, Utah being from mo. We had mules, the real deal Mo. Mules as tall as clysdales and Belgiums.
Fortunately for me I never showed any interest in farming, so I didn't get kicked or bit as much as , my dad or brothers! Very cool picture, you know Roy has some old pictures on f his family farming too, we have a couple too. Tc

Did you learn on this model Utopian? This old girl still goes, only comes out for shows these days. Belongs to a farmer I do a bit of work for.
Times certainly have changed. Entertainment was to get a couple of cokes, go down the river with some sausages and eggs and cook them on a fire in the toastie pie maker. Cold go fishing, hot go swimming. Can't even get my grand kids off their electronic devices.
Damn sure they changed the recipe for coke too, only tastes any good if it's got bourbon in it these days.

Listening to talk back radio today, a new born will probably not learn to drive in their life time because it will be automated...
