    End of an era

    Dad decided to pull the plug and retire from farming. Hard to believe.

    If it is a 4640, that's a really clean tractor for it's age.

    BM, the tractor in the foreground is a 1975 model 4230. She was a grand old tractor.

    CD - the folks won't be moving. Dad just decided it was time to relax a bit and watch somebody else (the renter) farm the land.
