It's with great honor, I display to you the first "Farm stories" video being narrated by my Grandfather. This is a small 5 min. Video with Farm stories from his past. Grandpa was born in 1934 and over the years I have enjoyed countless stories. Now it's time to share. Let me know what you like and don't like to help me get better. Appreciate the feedback. More videos to come! Thanks, Don https://youtu.be/ozVWIoQR200?si=y88LH4GX6NT34BiB" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/ozVWIoQR200?si=y88LH4GX6NT34BiB ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

Thank you guys...!!! It's my honor to do this for my family and people who love farming. This was just a 5 min. Video on the shorter side. I have alot of content and should have many more really cool videos coming up 😎 ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

Great idea. That’s a beautiful video you made, however, I need to know more about that two rib fendered UC Allis you’re leaning up against. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

That's a 1936 Model U , good buddy. Love it so far. Needs a new clutch, and hoping I have time this summer to drop one into it. It's a sweet tractor. If I can get the clutch fixed, would love to take it to a plow day this fall. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

Don(Mi), thank you for sharing your grandfather’s audio coupled to his era of black/white photos. What a treasure. What area of Michigan did he farm? I think I saw the AC G pulling the loose hay wagon? Did he also grow a considerable amount of vegetables? asparagus? |

Thank you! He farmed the thumb region (lower peninsula East side) for all his life. The little G they bought brand new from the local dealership, in the next few videos you will hear him talk about the dealership. They did most crops like corn/wheat/beans, not much on veggies. A few years they grew cucumbers...the G helped out with that! ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |
