7/3/11 -- Rt 129 , Maine. Nancy and Jim Bailey keep 7 John Deeres working on their property on Rt 129. With over 20 acres to mow and maintain, it takes all of them -- and one non-Deere machine to keep it clean and well kept. " Some people play golf, " said Nancy. "We mow." It takes 2-3 days each week the retired couple to mow the grass and maintain the property, left to Nancy by her father, O.M. Holmes, who expanded his lawns every year after his retirement from the construction business. ..A stretch of the road not often traveled. Spanning communities, classes and styles ~ of farmers and fishermen, retired and plugging, the elite and working waterfront. (This area has huge potential for great photojournalism).
