com:After WWII, my Dad started farming on his own here in Ohio. He first bought a couple good work horses, but sold them within a year after discovering how much faster and cheaper it was to run a tractor, rather than feeding all that good hay to the horses.  A few years later, he purchased a Massy Harris pull-type combine. Before that, all the neighbors got together with a shared threshing machine for harvesting the wheat.  Dad said that many of the older neighbors were mad at him for quite a few years because of his combine purchase. Their reason was that it "broke up the neighborhood".  In a way, this was quite true, but progress moves along and you have to keep up if you do it for a living.  My Dad will be 92 in a few weeks.
