It was full of labour, but it won't kill us like what we currently do. I am really encouraging everyone I know to make their own food from the soil.

Hi Frank,
Just perusing your back catalogue.It is so true that country living is sometimes very basic even now in some areas.
It is strange that rural childhood memories are so treasured and I can certainly empathise with yours.My fondest childhood memories are on a relative's family farm in Somerset during summer holidays.
I trust your fertile imagination will continue to deliver.
regards Guy

Sorry to hear about the partridges.My parents have a farm and it was alot of work this summer with a bailer.It took alot of time to get 263 bails of hay stacked in the barn.

Oh! those poor Partridges, that has haunted me all day but I can see that it has affected you for 50 years. How terrible.

Thank you for your amazing recollections. I, too am a child of the 50's, but in Albuuerque, and Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. My bad memory is remembering the silence of the lamb. My father pulling the lamb off the truck bed; later walking into the kitchen where the ladies were preparing blood pudding. Can't eat lamb to this day.

Times have certainly changed. I think it would have been very neat to grow up on a farm in the 50's, but I'm sure it would have been a great deal more work.

Interesting Frank. I've posted a video response

I guess I'm confused why an elevator would have to be invented. I mean you could use a winch/pulley and build box of sorts with counterbalance or even a sort of conveyor belt?

A winch or pulley would need somewhere to anchor it. The elevator had a set of wheels and towbar, so could be towed around and used in any field.
