Later Sowing

         Dad admitted to me once that when Grandad bought their first tractor in the late 1920s, it was the greatest day of his life up till then! Dad was a "machinery" man all his days, and also admitted that he hated dealing with the horses. Dad's notes below - and the amount of photos featuring it - speak volumes on how much this young man was impressed by this wonder of modern engineering!
