You shoulda been with me back in the mid sixties.... daddy decided to put the entire 120 acres in alfalfa one fall, we (daddy, my older brother and I) plowed it all up with a little to20 ferguson tractor pulling a two bottom disc plow. Daddy ran it during the day while we were in school, I took over from 4 til 10 or 11, and my brother ran it from then til dawn. It did a good job, but it was a long fall that year.

Nope daddy lost his backside and all the fixtures trying to raise alfafa seed. Grampa had been doing well with it for several years so dear old dad jumped into the game. The prices dropped at that point and it took him over 15 years working for wages to pay off all his debts incurred during his four year attempt to show a profit. Dad wasnt a very good farmer.
