Welcome To Baumgardner Farms

Bert Baumgarnder with his 1943 TracTractor, after farming all of his life with horses and mules.

Bert Baumgarnder started farming with his 1943 TracTractor in 1944, using it for 6 years before retiring in 1949.

Try to imagine the relief at the year’s end when simply “parking” your “team”!
Plus, the tractor didn’t need shelter, water or food all winter!

We forgot, as a society, what it was like to “winter your team” of horses and mules, and the vital importance of success needed until next year’s farming season, no-matter the conditions!
