Rusty Valve on Gasoline Tank (below)
Farm Gasoline Tank
In the 1950s, farmers had much smaller field machinery than they do now. Crops for the 20 or so dairy cows could be put up with a small tractor, plow, disc, planter, cultivator, mower, rake, and small hay baler. And to make sure there was fuel ready when they needed it, a small tank like the one pictured above would be kept on the farm.
Concrete stave silo, silage room, and barn
Between the silo and the barn was the silage room, which was basically a covered walkway that allowed the farmer to take the wheelbarrow from the barn to the silo, load silage into it with a sileage fork, and then wheel it back to the feed trough where he would fork out the silage in front of each cow.
Weather-worn granary
used for storing grains, such as oats
used for storing grains, such as oats
I remember being a kid and playing in a huge pile of oats in a granary, burying ourselves in the oats, and feeling all the slippery oats as we paddled through them with our hands. Now, I can only wonder how many rats had crawled over and around those same oats. It makes me shudder!
The rest of the story.
This one won't be standing much longer.
