Prologue to Farm Country Tales

Imagine an era
that’s diff’rent from now,
When times were not better,
but pleasing, somehow.
It’s the year 1950,
when farming was done
By Mother and Father
and Daughter and Son.

by Gordon W. Fredrickson

Young Tommy loves farm tractors and farming. When he explains to his dog, Rex, what he would do if he were a farmer, his lively imagination takes them both into an adventure in which Tommy is the hero. In bib overalls complete with watch, red handkerchief, and pliers, he imagines himself loading the old spreader with fencing tools to mend fence. But when hegets to the back pasture and he spots people with their car stuck in the mud on the narrow road, he pulls them out, gets them gas, and saves themfrom thugs who try to steal their money and watches. The accurate details about farming come out as he explains every detail to his dog Rex, and the book has a glossary to define all the farm terms.
