My grandpa always told me: "When I was your age, I had four mules pulling my middle buster."
My Grandmother was born on a boat that had cattle... And they would load the cattle on the boat and float to greener pastures...
Cotton anyone? They say it's a good crop...

My maternal grandfather was raised with 4-5 brothers in western LA. They were still small children for WWI. they farmed, had a few barnyard animals, and hunted those big deer, hogs, rabbits and squirrels. They had a lot of land, going back to the early 1800's, but were not especially wealthy. The depression hit them too, but farmers and hunters did better than most. Neighbors traded beans for potatoes, and shared the meat from their kills.
They all seemed to keep jobs, either for the gubmint, in forestry, or at paper mills. The land was taken by the US Army, who claimed they had to have it.
