Beaver County Pa. about 3 miles from Ohio and 1 mile from W.Va. Here is the farm house in about 1918, when it was being built, Native Americans still traveled past it on the hill top just out of site in the background. My Dad filling the 20' x 60' silo which held 500 tons of corn silage. Trellborg flotation tires like on the manure spreader.
Our manure spreader held 1,400 gallons of liquid manure, it weighed about 1,600 lbs, the manure weighed 11,676. Even with those big fat tires you did not dare go near a field when it was wet, Our barn was 50' x 100' and had 94 stalls with a 12 cow Herringbone milking parlor on the south end.
