Reynard Gilbert mows his neighbor’s field June 9 with his 1958 Massey Ferguson tractor in Turner. “It gives me a chance to play with my old antique tractor,” Gilbert says of helping his neighbor. “I haven’t had it out all winter, and it isn’t running so good. I need to do some tinkering with it.” Other than the six months Gilbert spent at Fort Dix in New Jersey for basic training while in the U.S. Army, the 76-year-old has lived in Turner his entire life. “I drove a truck for 41 years, and retired eight years ago,” Gilbert says. “Just dubbing around now.” Daryn Slover/Sun Journal Buy this Photo
