Gregory Manners enter Pennsylvania and New Jersey tractor pulls with his special Case 830. He usually does well. But most fans would be surprised to see the significant fanning changes he and his father, Robert M. Manners, have made at home where that twin-engine 900-horsepower “thun dermaker” recharges between competitions. They live at Terraceland, a showplace farm near Ringoes in Hunterdon County, N.J., where they milked 100 head of Holsteins until they were sold last March. Now they feed 70 head about half replacement heifers, half to be sold as beef. The dairy is closed and they’re now enthusiastic crop growers. “When we decided to quit dairying, we crossbred Holsteins with Herefords to get black, white-faced beef animals that have desirable size and temperament,” Gregory explains. Although they were giving increased attention to their com production, for feed, it was urban problems that triggered the switch. Chronically short of labor, they had finally lined up two helpers who planned to live with their families in VERNON MYERS, INC. Regular trys his tractor pull winner hand separate parts of a large house Robert owns in nearby Wertsville. But the township adjustment board turned down multi-family dwellings. Then across the lane from Terraceland, a farm was subdivided into 10-acre plots for $200,000 homes of com muters. A few years earlier, af fluent city dwellers who unsuccessfully tried to Trophy big enough to honor New Jersey's best tractor puller in his class for 1979 is hefted by R. Gregory Manners. In competition, he doesn’t seem to notice the roar of his own 900-horsepower “thundermaker." But he claims working near other tractors at indoor meets can be uncomfortable without ear protec tion. 3.
