[AT] another harvest picture

[Al Walker]

Well, guys, I must be strange.  I don't mind oats at all.  Barley is the 
worst for me, and spring wheat is passable.  I didn't do much combining 
when I was growing up, as I got to shovel the grain from the trailer 
into the bin in the granary. Yes, A #14 shovel and a strong back.   If I 
kept up with the combine (A6 Case and later Case 80) I was rewarded with 
a half gallon of ice cream all to myself.  I usually picked Rocky Road.  
One trailer was a JD Triumph flair box.  Dad sold that for $100 and 
never even gave me a chance at it.  It was in marvelous condition being 
stored inside all the time.  The original paint was terrific.  The other 
box was a metal one purchased from Montgomery Wards.  I did get to buy 
that one at the auction sale.  When it comes to itching, I was never too 
fond of alfalfa hay.   But that is another story  . . . . .
