Chores were an integral part of growing up on a farm. All children were expected to pitch in and help – a sanctioned form of child labour. Hauling water and feeding chickens were my normal tasks but I had to help out wherever needed. This included milking cows on occasion but generally that was left to the boys. It was a tough but necessary job and the reward was delicious fresh milk, thick rich cream and homemade butter.
