Jim wrote, “These are three prints from some old negatives which show my Dad driving out to feed hay to the livestock.  My brother John is in the back of the jeep and my brother Ed is on the hay loaded in the trailer. The photos were taken at my parents’ farm in Halltown MO in winter of 1969 or 1970. Now you know why John and Ed live in Florida.”
