Wow what a divergence... that much in one county... and here just 2 counties away I have 3 tenths...
Thanks for the story of your Grand-dad... surprised me that he was out of the house and owned his own business at 14... this world would be a better place if adults gave just a little confidence in a 14 year old to start a business and treated them as adults...
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear as I needed to be........Grandpa was working on a threshing crew, he didn't own the machine. His mother was alone and he had a younger sister at home at that time, so it was necessary that he supported himself.
