martin gardener - WWII years were called by some people as "the great liberator years" since so many young men were off to war and the women took on "men's work", but farm families (especially like my Mom's with nine kids but only two of them boys) had long before relied on the "womenfolk" to keep up with the chores, and at good weather harvest time it was all hands on deck. As a farm kid, I always enjoyed the pretty scenery on our neighbors' farms!
@@martingardener90 Definitely... My first wife (16 years a foster child on my Brother-In-Law's family farm when I met her just after her nineteenth birthday) was a bib-overall wearer: Love at first sight (we always joked she fell in love with my sports car and I fell in love with her bikini, but it was really always her blue eyes, though her blond hair and bib's sealed the deal!). Oddly, I met my second wife a few years after my first wife died, equally a beauty but from Da Bronx, never wore bib's in her life but still lets me wear mine so I am OK with that!
Yep, she's a cutie! My wife of 33 years grew up on the next farm down. 5' nothin', auburn hair and made of 95% mixture of piss and vinegar with 5% sugar and spice mixed in! Gotta love a real farm girl!
We had an overshot hay stacker in the 50s and I also got a bunch of garter snakes tossed up to me. I bailed off the stack but had to go back up to work anyway. Also had to find my pitchfork by digging thru the hay. Snakes had apparently hidden because I didn’t see any. My dad and I could put up a couple 10 ton stacks in a day.
@@bradhaenitsch1145 thank you kindly sir , just to let you know I spent the afternoon getting my farmall 200 running so I could grind my grain with a belt driven Cockshutt grinder and then I add some molasses and mineral to it and stir it by hand to make feed for my sheep and cows. The best way to spend a day
@@leslieholman3121 I’m so happy to hear that I can still smell the feed we would grind for the hogs many years ago anyway Mr Holman keep it up.where do you farm
@@bradhaenitsch1145 I have a small farm in Nova Scotia, sheep, cows a few chickens and our main income is a market garden and I do the old style hand nailed wood trim that I make myself
I was stacking loose hey like that in the '60s. Short story a rattlesnake went up with the bunch of hey. One step down 20 ft and I swear I didnt' feel the impact of the ground.
Sounds like you knew it was not the place to be with a mad rattlesnake on top of a haystack. That was not going to end well. My dad was born and raised in ne Montana and killed more rattlesnakes than he would like to remember. Still shuttered about it 90 years later. Used to crack them behind the head with a long stick to kill them. He had a tail with 10 rattles on it from one of his victims.
I see you broke one of the wooden teeth on your one-level farm hand. A few years later, you could buy a hydraulic controlled farmhand and mount it on the Farmall M and do an excellent job of gathering and stacking that hay. It would be best to have steel teeth. Then, you could put the hay in a windrow and bale it with a small JD 14 T. wow.
Fantastic film - had to watch it twice, once for the Girl on the Rake and Farmall and once for the rest of the action !

One thing about farming back in the day you couldn't be shy about hard work
Thank you
♥.♥
Just Nice. Thanks...
Always enjoy seeing how things were done in the past. Simply amazing sometimes just how far farming has come.
Takes me back when Dad and go to classic tractor shows and would see some demonstrations going on.
This is true farming Love this is how you farm
Great film showing a lot of cooperation and hard work and progress toward the future!👍🇱🇷
Great Footage and Yep There's Always Been Beautiful Hard Working Women Asociated With Farm Equipment 🚜 😀

Hey, it's not 'hey', it's hay. Were you doing this work in a foreign location?
@@dougjohnson8250 Foreign to whom?
