CUSTOM PLOWING AND THRESHING 1938-1951

By Daker McQueen

R. Rt. 1, Pierson, Iowa 51048

Having read articles about other people's experiences with custom farm work has encouraged me to put down on paper some of the times my father and I spent together working with threshing and plowing. My father was employed by the Bierman brothers Joe, George, Roy, Harry, and Frank to operate their 28" Red River thresher from 1938 through 1951 at Pierson, Iowa.

It was his job to ready the thresher in the summer for the fall threshing jobs and to run the machine during threshing season. Being employed by our small home town as marshal and general maintenance man, it was agreed that he could have time off to do the fall threshing. Of course, the city fathers deducted his days off, even though my mother kept the city water pumps running the necessary time needed to keep our town with water during his absence.810 of 12647 characters shown.
