Yes, it’s me, “Old Blue”. I am an old 1981 Chevy farm truck. When I was young, I hauled produce for Mr. Crosby over in Payne, Ohio, but he needed a bigger truck so he sold me to Hahn Farms here in Antwerp…now that was many years ago.
Over the years, Mr. Hahn has gotten bigger and he and Nick have two big semis and just recently they picked up a Kenworth straight truck with 5 axels. Gee whiz, they could put me in the bed of that truck. Now Ken and Nick are doing fine and they don’t need me anymore and I have been sold. Yes, just like the old time dish water, thrown out the door. Looking back over the years, I really liked it on the Hahn Farm. They really treated me fine, but no room for me now.
I understand that I am moving to Harlan, Indiana. I know a lot of people in Maumee and Scipio Township and they are all good folks. I’m sure going to miss Kenny, Nick, Mike, Jake, Dan and all the boys at harvest time. I don’t know if he sold my good friend Jenny the trailer or not.
Yes, I am a little sad, sorrowful and put out. I and Mr. Stan have been cast aside. Well, we will make a go of it. The downside of progress.
See ya!
