I was farming in 1990, milking 30 Holstein cows, and I had roughly that 120 acres of land to use. Half I owned half rented. I was 29, and had been running my farm I started on my own for nine years at this point. I did have a pipe line milking system and a flat top milk tank, but I cleaned the stables with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. 1990 was the year I built a bale barn40x60 for big round bales and had bought a New Idea round baler. Cows are dry hay , and I did rotational grazing from May first till weather turned to bad in end of October. I maintained a very small equipment line, and a small debt load. I had a JI Case 530 Diesel triple range , my CIH 585 with 2200 loader, bought new in 1987, and paid cash for it. I also had a 1987 CIH 885 with cab, my big tractor bought it used, and it was also paid for. NH 155manure spreader I bought new, and a 488 NH haybine bought in 1990. I had just sold my 46IH sq baler and thrower wagons that spring when I went to big round bales. Life was good, I was young strong and ambitious, and could work all day and half the night if I needed to. Our second son was born in November of 1990. My farm didn’t have a house on it when I bought it, we lived in a 12x60 mobile home. And in 1989 I moved a house from town onto the farm, and sold the mobile. Maybe not everyone’s idea of the right choices of equipment, it served me well , and I had moved most of it on within 5 years for better stuff. I did put in a Patz stable cleaner in the barn in 91-92 when I built on to the barn. It was fun !
