Childhood memories of my own

I grew up on a farm and loved every minutes of it. Here, I’ve been pushed over in the hay and had it thrown over me. I still remember that the crop that year was particularly tall. This was considered good as it meant the teeth of the harvester comb could be set a bit higher and hopefully wouldn’t run into stumps and stones which might have been laying on the ground and which could damage the comb and put an end to harvesting until repairs were made. In the off-season, my father and brother would often go out picking stumps and/or stones to try to make the paddocks smoother for following years. Some years later, shorter crops were preferred as they were less likely to be blown over by strong winds.
