Some old farm pictures

[Bigfoot]

I stumbled across this web page today. It has old farm pictures from 1930-2000. I thought someone else might enjoy them as well.

Thanks for posting the link!!
The picture of the guy on the tractor pulling the 2 row cultivater in a huge field is interesting--it looks woefully inadequate for the task by today's standards but was a big jump forward compared to a set of mules. Looks like a Model CC Case.
:D

They planted them rows pretty darned straight without GPS!.. and on hilly land that can be a real PITA to do

Some big spray contraption I had never seen before was pretty interesting to look at. The pictures of the farm auctions during the farm crisis brought back a lot of old memories.

I enjoyed those.

My favorite was the steam driven tractor. Does anyone know what the big belt on the smaller wheel was attached to on the cab area?
