The End of an Era
In years gone by, Iowa Tractor Boys engaged in Farming with the concept being that you had livestock, grew corn and oats as well as hay. This required a wide range of equipment and also required a lot of labor. The Silo shown here on the ground was demolished because it was no longer being used. In the past it was used to store forage for feeding to Beef Cattle.Yes, it was the end of an era when this silo was imploded.
An Iowa Farm boy from 1940 until 1961 when I joined the Navy. When I was a Farm Boy I was involved in 4-H Club work and I participated in Future Farmers of America while I was in High School. I have fond memories of being a Iowa Farm boy. I am also very proud of my Iowa Farm Boy Heritage.
