A tobacco farmer with a tractor in eastern NC in 1940 would have been VERY

$$ enough for my house today? You are kidding, aren't you? ;<)

Cotton is another crop we raised that was very labor-intensive but not

Mules were used in 1940?
Did this type of wage earn $$ enough to live in the house you live today?
