Art Fahey Sr. was born and raised on his families century farm in Green County. As recalls many memories one of the most significant ones that comes to mind is when his farm switched to using full electricity and using milking machines. At that time it took three farms in mile in order to get electricity.

At the sharp age of 100 years old he tells us about his brothers and his first purchases of John Deere tractors from Belleville dealership, and how he has a John Deere implement he used to do little tasks around the farm to this day. He had a John Deere 50 that even lasted 70 years.
