Looks like he is having a good time, it's great, in my opinion, to begin teaching them a good work ethic and safe work habits when they are young.

That's wonderful!!!

Good for you, and your son!

You are fostering the future of Agriculture in this nation, and I mean that in all seriousness!!

Because of my father and grandfather, I could back a 1953 Minneapolis Moline ZAU - NFE with no power steering and front blade on - with manure spreader down our barn floors at 6 or 7 years old.

Couldn't do it today...

He has been around this all his young life he knows all "dander zones" as he calls it and is very serious about his operations still very important to lead by example witch I strive to teach them still is very dangerous but I feel it's better to teach them hands on

Cool: I remember shoveling ear corn into a grinder mixer when I was that size. This is so much easier. It was also a Gehl behind an orange tractor. WD45 Allis Chalmers. Grind oats up to the first window, add protein and minerals then finish with corn.

Awesome, that type of learning is passing us by - glad to see young 'uns "working" and having fun, 99% being on a tractor is having fun! That experience will go far in his lifetime! Excellent picture!

As a teenager i worked for my grandfather in his feed business. I hauled a lot of bulk feed. All corn gorund, bean meal mixed, and fat added in an old mixer(can't remember which brand) and a D17 A/C. All the storage bins were hand made in corn crib.. Lot of hard work, taught me a lot. Thought he was nuts for not getting g a commercial grinder/mixer. Boy was I wrong. He knew how to make things work and make money while at it.

That's awesome! Looks like a good day.

Dang, I all I ever got was an old, slick handled galvanized scoop shovel. Round these parts, we put that subsidized hold in dark hot bins.

"That's child abuse!"
"What about child labor laws?"
"Is that safe?"
"No child that age can safely operate machinery!"
"OMG! Call Child Protective Services!"

Farm people know better.

Raise a kid with responsibility and you will have a productive member of society and a successful child. I have never met a farm kid that wasn't squared away.

That picture is of the real America that many city folk either forget or are completely ignorant of.

Thanks for sharing!

Nice picture!

Yep, when you teach a youngster how to work, they've now acquired something that is not taught anywhere else. Not in H.S., trade school, college, grad. school----anywhere!

You either have it or you don't. When you don't have it you become a person always looking for a handout because you don't know how to earn it yourself.

God help us all. When we get to the point the "have nots" outnumber the "haves" the system can not support itself, and we self-implode.

My better half tells stories of being 8-9 and having a D5 pull the wheat trucks uphill to be dumped into. Of course that meant coming downhill loaded. I know those hills and they aren't being farmed now, CRP ground.

All I got to do was mow lawns and split wood at Grand Pa's.
