[QUOTE="Richard Devon, post: 7288818, member: 5397"] A fascinating subject. I often thought it would be nice to write a book about the farm contractors that were around from the war (2) onwards detailing how they started and the stories from then, but as you say the knowledge is disappearing fast. Also it would be interesting to know know more about the War-Ag Seems they used to bring a steam engine and thresher to us if they didn't finish the first day the stoker would arrive about 6 in the morning, get the engine fired up then come in home for a fry up. Anyway one particularly wet autumn they made a right mess winching it all in and getting set up that my late grandfather said that would be the last year unless things changed.....anyway the contractor upgraded to a Marshall after that.
