Kejr Farms Harvest 1981 & 1985--The Good Life

[drewkejr]

Hey everyone,

With Wheat Harvest in full swing I though it would be an appropriate time of year to travel down memory lane for a minute. My mom found these harvest pics a couple months ago. The first set is from 1981 and the second set is from 1985. Those of you that follow my Kejr Farms display will see a lot of the equipment that is replicated on my display. Not too much else to say about them other than that I hope you enjoy them and seeing how it was done 30 summers ago.


The combine fleet: 3 JD 7700s (one might be a 6600), a NH TR70, a JD 8820, a MF 750/850









1962 White 7000

















My summer hot rod!









1985- A meal in the field

Me and my sister




Me and Grandpa at the field sink

Awesome!! Some of the most memorable meals as a kid were eaten while sitting against a tractor/truck tire. Loved that era of farming. Love looking at vintage farming pics....

The good life indeed...

Looks good, nice to have pics of to reflect upon later on. They will keep bringing back memories. Nice line up of combines. Got a little of it all out there working.

Wayne has a White COE similar to that one. I need to visit by his place to see if its still around. Think his had a Cummins in it.

Those are some really cool pics. That is a heck of a fleet of combines. Was the Massey pretty new? The one pic of it the auger on the header doesn't look like it has hardly any paint worn off of it. That old white is a neat truck. Some of the best meals are the ones out in a wheat field. When I helped my Uncle and cousin they always brought us awesome meals out to the field.
