Ohl: Rocks
My grandfathers were both retired farmers. My dad’s father had three sons who farmed, and he would still help them out when he could. I was 8 or 9 years old in the early 50s when the accident happened.
Grandpa was operating the single row corn picker when he accidently attempted to harvest a piece of rock. The rock did put up a fight, cracking the power take off female coupler. However, the picker still functioned if it was babied along.
