The disc and harrow, if I recall correctly, were two different farm implements which were attached to the back end of the tractor (or horses, I think in this case). Farmers treated the fields in this way to rid the fields of weeds, and to make the soil friable and fit for seeding. Wow, can't believe I remember so much!Still the Lucky Fewhttp://www.stilltheluckyfew.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-51027371367396265412016-06-14T12:03:18.707-05:002016-06-14T12:03:18.707-05:00Love these stories and pictures!Love these stories and pictures!thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-47945147476486633982016-06-14T07:59:51.511-05:002016-06-14T07:59:51.511-05:00The matching dresses must have been "the styl...The matching dresses must have been "the style" for sisters. It always fascinates me how completely different people look on the outside at 17 and 84, yet we feel like the same person on the inside.

The switch to alfalfa and other feeds raised the cream content in milk. I suspect the "essessor" measured the cream content in the milk to set a selling price.

He just died last year in a car accident at age 94. My mom's 86. Funny how until your parents die you don't realize how old you really are. <br />Lovely pic of the young girls all dressed up.
