Tales ‘N’ Trails received 1934 John Deere tractor
Jerry Browder recently donated his grandfather’s antique tractor to Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum in Nocona in an effort to perpetuate it past his generation. It has been in his family for 90 years.
By Jerry Browder,
Denton
In 1934, during the Dustbowl and Great Depression in Southwestern Oklahoma, my grandfather, Benjamin Browder of Gould, OK in Harmon County, OK, acquired this new 1934 first year Model A John Deere S/N 410666 from Lowry Malloy Implement Company in Hollis, OK.
Between 1930 and 1935, 750,000 farmers in the U.S. declared bankruptcy. The “Yearbook of Agriculture” for 1934 reads, “Approximately 35 million acres of formerly cultivated land have essentially been destroyed for crop production…. 100 million acres now in crops have lost all or most of the topsoil; 125 million acres of land now in crops are rapidly losing topsoil….”
Read the full history of this tractor and how it came to the museum in your weekend Bowie News. (Courtesy photo)
