Looking Straight Ahead | In the early fifties, our yard tractor was a model B John Deere, which my dad used for picking rocks, haying, etc. One day when my mother was sick, he asked his 15 year old niece to drive the B, while he rode the horse-converted hay rake behind. She was told to pay strict attention to the hay windrows, so as not to miss any of the hay. She locked her concentration so straight ahead, that she failed to notice that the rake had come unhooked, until she reached the end of the row. Imagine her sheepishness, when she made the turn, only to discover dad sitting at the other end of the field. Guess he was trying to teach her that you have to look both frontwards and backwards when farming. We often laugh about Betty's first lesson in farming!
