I grew up in Brantford, Ontario...now residing in Nova Scotia. At one time the Massey plant in Brantford was the largest manufacturing plant in North America - one million square feet under roof!!! The recession in the early 1980's plus the decline in farming equipment manufacturing (translation OFF-SHORE production) resulted in thousands being laid off.

The only reason my grand-father bought a tractor was because the last work horse died from old age! He bought a Massey-Harris (waaaay back inthe 1950's).
