Subject: farming in the old days, pics.


Northeast Maine/Southern New Hampshire.		Here are some pics. From the late 80's.
Please excuse the quality.
They are photos of old photos.
The first 2 are of a field that was very dry and no river adjacent.
We used 4 125hp tractors with manure tankers to haul the water from the river 1.5 miles to a holding lagoon in the field .

We then used a 4 inch pipeline system to irrigate the field .
It took 6 days to apply 3 inches of rain on 8 acres.

The final yield of potatoes was 14 tons, neighbor on the same road had 4 tons.

Next one is myself alongside a jd3450 and grimme tater harvester.
Next two are the irrigation again.
Sixth Is the old tw20 and 4 furrow Kverneland rev. Plough.
Seventh is the 7600 hauling a load of virus tested seed for early potatoes.
Eight is 7600 running a howard rotavator preparing the land for planting.
Last pic. Is the final product being harvested.

With the title "farming in the old days" I was expecting pics from 1940-50 era. The "old days' being considered by some to be the 1980s really makes me feel old. Interesting pics. Thanks for sharing.

Northeast Maine/Southern New Hampshire.		I see what you are all saying, but this stuff is between 30 and 40 years old.

I will post some photos of the vegetable patch if I get a chance.

I saw some of these at my uncles at thanksgiving .
Didn't know that they existed.

One I saw was of my brother and I using a hydraulic 4 row transplanter planting broccoli.

Nothing wrong with older equipment if it gets the job done .

Chebanse, IL.....

You have some excellent vintage photos. I'd suggest you either buy a decent scanner or contract a trustworthy friend to scan those photos into files for you. Take them out of the album pages though, or at least remove the cover sheet.

Those are priceless & you need to preserve them. They'll deteriorate with time if you don't. Scan them so you have a 3-5000 kb file per 4x6 photo, if possible. Then remember to back up those files somehow. Can't emphasize that enough.

Thanks for sharing.
