Pictures from the past of our farm

Please note : Early stages of construction.

This was my father planting corn with our 1953 Jubilee Ford using an old horse drawn IHC corn planter he had converted to 3 point hitch in the mid 1940's. The crawler hitched to the wagon was a John Deere 40, very handy. The wagon was a Colby. The picture was taken about 1955.

"Land Ho". Actually making repairs to an ear corn crib top cap. A bit of snow on the ground.

Me, deep plowing sod with my IHC Super-M and an IHC 3 bottom 14" plow. I haven't plowed with this tractor since about 1987. I do very little moldboard plowing today, using minimum-till and no-till instead. This tractor has a 3 point hitch.

Me again, on the IHC-400-LP pulling the 21 cu. ft. Soil-Mover. My son is in the background using the Massey Ferguson 165-D with the Dearborn 3 point slip scoop. Here we are building a large water retention basin/wet-lands. Not quite a pond but close.

Here I am using the IHC Super-MTA with the Soil-Mover moving a bit of soil.
