Grandpa had 14,000 acres of land in 1935. There was a landing strip on the property back then. Margaret Mitchell has visited here along with numerous govenors and instructors/students from colleges and universities throughout the US back in the 30's/40's. Supposedly he was the first person to ever plant pine trees as a crop.

Actually the wheels/axles move up/down raising or lowering the tines. Seems that it was used to break up the hardpan.

I imagine it was a big ordeal to move something like this from Ca to Soperton back during the 20's. I'm sure it came by train.
