This made some memories come flooding back. I was 11, my brother and sister were off on a 4-H trip to South Dakota and the oats were ready to be harvested. Dad said, well Don I guess you'll be driving the grain truck. (I could barely reach the outer edges of the steering wheel and get my foot to the clutch). I had already learned to drive the pickup (3 on the tree) but the grain truck was a whole other beast! Dad took me out to the pasture and we did a couple of laps.
That's how we did things back then, toss you in the deep end and away you go!
