Farmer Arthur Sprinkle Farms since 1918 on Quarry Road
Rochester area farmer Arthur Sprinkle began cultivating the same 11 acre Quarry Rd plot in 1918 with an $8600 investment. He now notes farming demands around $50,000, recalls horse powered equipment, and describes how haying, milking, and school transportation via a kidwagon evolved to tractors, modern tractors, and increased family help. He reflects on memory of ice blocks, cinder roads, and a long life shared with family including wife Maude who died in 1956.
