"Well, I remember when I bought the farm. I bought it from the other banker here in town. And he said, 'That's got good water under it. You can irrigate that.'
"And I said, 'I don't think I will ever irrigate.' Well, boy I was sure wrong. We was drilling a well a shortly after that. And it made a big difference. That irrigation changed the whole country."

Harvey Pickrel was born in 1916 on a farm south of York, Nebraska. Harvey and his brother helped their father on the farm in many ways. They would harness the horses to the plow and, later on, drive the tractor and plow the fields. When he was old enough, Harvey started farming on his own. Harvey has seen a lot of good and bad years out on the farm, and he's seen a lot of changes in the way farming is done.
