A grew up here and own the tractor in the picture. This is considerably earlier than 1986. The fences we built in 1981 are not there yet, nor is the willow tree in the back yard which is sizable by the 1982 picture. I think this is early 1970s, but maybe even earlier. The tractor is a 1955

Thank you for your comment! We appreciate your insight and knowledge of the area. It sounds like you have some great memories of growing up in rural America. Can you tell us more about what the area was like in the early 70s? We, unfortunately, do not know the exact year it was taken, just that it was taken before 1986, but thank you for narrowing it down to the early 70s! -Alexis
