The old family farm

When I was a kid I helped my dad with the farming. I drove a D John Deere tractor pulling a three bottom plow and pulling a 16 foot springtooth. I have lots of fond memories out on the farm.

I come back to watch this once in awhile, reminds me of when I was a kid.. except there were no turtles to shoot LOL! but its almost sad the way things change.

I'm glad you like it Peter! No turtles to shoot? Bummer! lol It is sad the way things change. You can only remember how good they were.

Nice video! It's always disappointing to see places you loved so much being run down. Too bad you didn't stay on the farm, sounds like you really regret leaving. I grew up in a big city and know I'd never move back. That farmland looks a lot like where I live. Great video, it'd making me think about the good old days!

Thanks artistfarmer2008! It's very dissapointing how run down the old family farm is. I can still remember exactly how it was back when I was growing up and how it is today really makes me sad. They just let the out buildings fall down and leave them that way. The place is a mess! Like I said in the video the house hasn't been painted since we did it back in the 1970's. It's a real shame!!!

I grew up in a small town not far from the farm. That's where my grandparents lived and where my dad grew up. They sold it after my grandparents passed away. I wish I would have bought it!!!! I lived in the city for 11 years. That's all I could take of it so I moved to a small town. I love it here and would never live in the city again. Maybe someday I will live in the country..it is in my blood!! Thanks again and remember the good old days!

its always nice o tgo back where you grew up...brings back good memories... great vid! :-) 5*****!

Sure did. Hell, if there were a grasshopper on the ground I would shoot it with my .22. It's really a small farm. We farmed 120 acres. Which doesn't sound like much, but with the old equipment we used it sure seemed like a lot. Yes, it is cool to go back to where you were in your youth. Things sure have changed. Thanks!!!!

if the fucking economy ever picks up again.. I'm coming down there and we'll drive out to the bridge and have a few beers.

everything is closing up in the small town I live in. Fuck!!!!!

Oh, forgot to mention.. all those frogs and turles would have ended up as pets if Janet (crazyfarm) would have been there. She was always putting frog eggs in jars and frogs in bird cages. Didn't have turtles.. good thing, they would have probably ended up in my bathtub.
