This old tractor and cart reside on a property which has been dontated to Council locally – as you can see by the sign leaning on the cart, they used to sell honey and eggs to the locals. This has been treated with a few filters in Photoshop to try for an ink/sepia wash look. Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM
This antique corn planter was one of many “relics” found out in the tree grove on an old farm place we bought on auction. I don’t know how old the plow is but when we found it, there was a tree growing up through the middle of the implement. It sits in my flower garden with roses planted around it now. This is one of my favorite images and was featured on the back cover of Country Magazine in 2006 and won the Calendar Contest for our local radio station the year before that.
Makes a nice picture to hang on the wall for a bar, or anyone fond of the bottle.

This may not look to be that comfortable to ride. It was a lot easier that raking hay by hand. This old horse drawn hay rake could rake bout what 8 men could do in a given time. That would leave a lot of time for other chores. More often then not, one of the younger kids would drive the rake, and the older kids and men would gather and put up the hay. This was pulled thru the field of cut hay. The tines would collect the hay. When they were full the lever would be pull releasing the hay in a pile. Then it would be gathered and taken to where they stored it. This may be crude by today’s standards but in its hay days this was a major improvement to putting up hay…….image taken at the Mountain Farm Museum at the Cherokee NC entrance to the Great smoky Mountain NP

This photo contains so many elements of a typical farm. Taken east of Okotoks, Alberta. Hope you like it.
In the early days fodder to get the stock through the winter was usually hay. The whole process was done by hand in the earliest days later a horse draw hay rake like the one shown was used. The hay then was place by hand into stacks around a pole to help keep it from blowing away. By pressing the hay down as they started and latter by the weight of the hay, it would become fairly waterproof. This took a certain skill by the stackers. The hay would cure by the heat generated by the release of moisture in the hay and compression. A fence was then place around the stack to keep the stock out until it was time for them to feed on it….Image was taken on The Mountain Farm Museum, GSMNP. The barn seen is the Enloe-Floyd Barn, and is of the Shotgun style

The invention of a horse drawn rake in the 1800’s made the process of collecting hay much more efficient. The horse drawn rake could collect about 8 times a much as someone raking by hand. This lead to more hay gathered to feed the stock and more time to do other chores,before winter set in.

This look into the past is preserved at the Mountain Farm Museum in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. This park is different in many ways from a lot of the other National Parks in the US. It is one of the 1st to have the land bought soley form logging companies and individuals. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 familys were displaced in the early 1920’s and 30’s when they sold their land for the purpose of a National Park. The park service also desided they wanted to preserve the way of life of these early pioneers. Throughout the park old structures have been preserved. Here at the Mountain Farm Museum and at the Cades Cove Visitors Center are 2 places where a whole farm was preserved. The only building here that was originally here though, is the barn, the other structures were moved from various places in the park to here. Another note of the parks uniqueness is they is no charge for entering due to an agreement with the states of Tennessee and North Carolina

A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY, BUT JUST A LITTLE TOO COLD AND SNOWY TO WORK THE GROUND.

Spotted this rusting farming implement while driving around the Lake district, loved the old plough (I think it is an old plough or tiller ) leant up against the tree.
