In addition to farming, Ed and a neighbor, John McGowen, owned a well drilling machine and for several years drilled water wells around the country. They also ran a threshing rig for several years for a neighbor, Bill Ploutz. John ran the steam engine and Ed ran the separator and kept the books.
Ed sheared sheep every spring. Often he and his four sons traveled together to shear sheep. He sheared his last sheep at 90 years of age.
