HUMBOLDT Today, tractors as large as small buildings, can work fields that 100 years ago would have been considered a complete farm, in a days time.
Many a family farm in the early 1900s consisted of about 80 acres.
Tractors of manageable size were just finding their ways into fields, replacing steam-power behemoths that were more novelties than everyday working machines, as well as teams of horses.
On Saturday, St. Peters Lutheran Church was the venue for antique tractors from these parts and in between. Owners gabbed and enjoyed a light lunch, courtesy of the churchs mens group.
