I'm asking for help to paint a picture in words the difference between farming now and farming as it used to be years ago. I have occasion to read to some old farmers who have very limited eyesight and they have fascinating stories of how farming used to be in their youth. Memories that, due to their age, could soon be lost for ever. They are as equally interested in modern farming as I am in their stories. I am hopping that among all the TFF members, there is a wealth of knowledge and stories that I could entertain them with. Their interest is far ranging .. from every aspect of animal husbandry, no matter how gory!, to daily living, machinery, descriptions of the countryside, etc and some of their courtship stories would really surprise a modern youngster! Here's hopping there's some good writers reading this. Thanks in expectation.
