I was just thinking the other day about a place east of town. Hands down going away the largest dairy around here in the 50s and 60. He was a WW 2 vet who came home and farmed,so the kids,and there were a lot of them,were around my age. I remember the kids coming to school with notes saying they didn't get their homework done because they didn't have time after their chores.
