14 HOUR DAYS
This song brings back memories of farm life back in the 1960's operating some of those old combines in northern California harvesting barley, rice, safflower and milo corn. Then in my later years working on a grass seed farm near Harrisburg, Oregon operating modern combines in the 1990's. The one thing that never changed was the long days, many were 14 hour days.
