Book Description
Excerpt from Farm Buildings: With Plans and Descriptions The first farmers in the middle west threshed grain and piled it upon the ground because they had no barns, granaries or warehouses. It was hauled to railway tracks and shoveled into box cars at the first opportunity. Box cars were not always available, the weather was uncertain, and the losses always fell on the farmer. There were no cattle to use the straw, so it was burned to get it out of the way. The farmer's life represented years of incessant toil interspersed with every kind of losses that pioneering imposes. The only excuse the early pioneers had for not starving to death was the wonderful productivity of the virgin soil. To grow a profitable crop, a farmer must devote time, knowledge and experience to the work. It means years of partial failures in the process of learning how. The present crop is produced by days of labor in preparing the land, planting seed, and nursing the crop through to a successful harvest.
