The Thomas Lincoln farm

[AussieMick]

Much of the acreage was not productive to high yield farming.
Thomas was a good carpenter, but being in a rural area, not much call for his services.

Corn was one of the main crops.
Beans, squash, and various veggies.

thanks, Gene (and for the translation to Aussie ... 'veggies' ... wherever possible cut the ending off plural nouns and use '...ies')
