Beautiful!

My grandfather was born in 1906. He used to tell stories of threshing in the valleys of Humboldt County, California near Maple Creek. First with a stationary steam engine at a nearby lumber mill, and later with early tractors running flat belts. Even my father, born 1948, still gets a little misty eyed when he hears an old 2 cylinder “Johnny Popper”, reminding him of farming out in those hills.

I grew up near 113 in kimberton

✨✨✨✨✨✨

Your dedication to organic farming is inspiring. 🌱

I can feel the peacefulness of your farm through the screen

Not 71... Probably about 74 +... I saw a mustang II they came out to 74 and Indian crest at the very end on the left opened in 74.. my grandparents house was right by the driveway and I remember when they were building it we climbed around inside as little kids on Sundays when we would visit

Early 70's would take that ride to the MNTS 113 to 611 [from 309] passing Easton and that bridge to Jersey forget the name of the Jersy town,no blue rt nice ride diff. world then.I was a young guy 19 and i loved the mnts Porters lake Pine Flats and even Port Jervus NY,wish i can go back in time,girls were nice they liked my accent.Im from Phila.I have to take that way again Hawley was where i would go to alot.Just local people much better then.

This is a very nicely done documentary!

Could do without the hideous rendition of Bringing in the Sheves but otherwise brought back memories of when the huge thresher came to our farm for 'our turn' -- sliding down the straw stacks (and getting swatted for it) and all the food my mother had to make. I have used a scythe and it is hard work. Miss the farm every day.

The combined harvester/ thresher was one hell of an improvement over the reaper/ binder and the stationary thresher. Although I love the nostalgia of the old days and the way the threshing bees brought the family community together, once the compact combine was invented there was no turning back.

Any notice the price of gas at the Getty station at 8:00? 57 cents per gallon…

Muy buen video, hay mucho que rescatar aqui , para que no se pierda , en estos precisos dias al borde de una 3ra. guerra mundial , habrá que volver alo análogo❤👍👍👍

Wonderful video, lose the music please.

It is horrifying how now this area is all retail and high density houses 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I miss this old Pennsylvania

Neat footage. It covers the area widened from near Lederach north to Franconia and Souderton. I think this may have been filmed close to the widening around the mid/late 70’s. I remember the road being in terrible condition, no big repairs were being done because it was going to be torn up for widening. This footage seems to fit that memory. Great footage, thanks for uploading it! I lived on Landis road at this time.

Wow, lots of memories here. Grew up in mainland, harleysville and Vernfield, but moved out in 2002. Remember much of this very well. Was a big deal when 113 was widened from near maple ave. north to Franconia and Souderton. Was so dusty and like riding on a washboard till it was finished. And how steep the approach was coming down from below Maple Ave to Sumneytown pike intersection until it was cut down. I went to the Indian creek brethren church through the 70’s and remember Curry Moyer playing for the congregation pretty regularly. Hiked along the Indian trail on the branch creek so many times, it was still a little wild back then. I visited the area in 2016, and have to admit…I’m a bit saddened by the development that happened in the area. What’s gone will likely never return.

School Board leader teaches bigotry...

When was this produced

I remember using this road to go to Lancaster from Bedminster.

87 years of my life was spent in the towns mentioned. thanks for the memories.

Was their home torn down? I assume it no longer exists and was a casualty of development. What a wonderful story of life. The changes she witnessed over the course of her life are mind boggling to me.

Excellent program everyone. I remember the threshing machine, as my father was one of the last people to use it in the early 1960's in Saskatchewan Canada. He used a WD40 tractor to run the machine. We did grind out own flour as well. Thank you

Very cool footage. Always wondered what that used to look like. I lived in Souderton around 1990, and moved to Harleysville around 1994. Can't help notice all the classic cars! Thanks for sharing.

The physical road is so much better today. But in my opinion that’s the only thing that’s better.

Sort of funny that the mention of Rt113 once passed through Harleysville as Maple ave was glossed over. Whereas Telford, Souderton, Hatfield & Lansdale where made by the railroad areas like Skippack, Ledrock, Harleysville fed them the product to grow.

Only question why has it taken 37 years to surface for the public to see this local item. Civic pride starts with area knowledge been a resident of Harleysville for 25 years in the area for the last 60 years so some of the highlights are news to me.

This was perfect! Thank you for sharing these memories.

Thank you so much Uncle John and cousin Jay for putting this great video on RUclips for us all to enjoy and relive.

Hello, how has the i-476 turnpike changed this area, there is an exit at Harleysville, there is lots of developments?

This video was a great blessing when it was produced as it helped people see men whose lives were transformed by Jesus Christ. It also shows other aspects of prison ministry and Liberty House an aftercare ministry for men released from prison. It shows rare footage of worship services inside Graterford State Prison.

I did this in England when I was a kid growing up the local Thatcher in our village had to get his thatching straw for roofing with a thrash and tackle so the straw wasn’t damaged my dad and two brothers helped him out every year it was hard but satisfying work and you should have seen the people from the city stop for pictures made feel like we were in a zoo lol then the news cameras would show up my dad farmed and owned a pub in Gt Ashfield in Suffolk I would not give up my up bringing at all we farmed the old fashioned way I remember chopping sugar beet with a hoe by hand when they were ready we pulled them up by hand and knocked them together week later we topped them with a hook and pitched them in the old tumble I will never forget them days my dad was 2nd world war navy tuff as nails and just as mean we had the farm and pub and dad worked as a lineman for the electric company and he did that till he retired those where the days ❤

And, in New Zealand, we used jute wheat bags. Now there are a lot of plastic ones used, I guess.

Hay balers in New Zealand use sisal, or plastic twine to tie the bales.

The usurers took over at about 30minutes into this nice video. And now, mampower is displaced from industry and now retail. Hence our plan.

Had enough banjo/bluegrass picking by a minute and a half into the program. Consider limiting presentations to Video, Sound, and Narration. Adding background music breaks the rule of three by adding an additional, or fourth, distracting component. If video is replaced with stills underscore with appropriate sound from video you have. Video, Natural Sound and Narrative is enough. Remember that some people may not share your personal taste in music.

The Jerusalem temple was set on the threshing floor of the Jebusite, who was a pre-Israli or Palastinian precursor. So even before Solomon's temple, the ancient one the moon worshipers were present.

My father bought a pull type combine back in 1975 for the harvesting of clover seeds.

well pruduced video and thanks to the guys who did the work

Gotta love Henry Ford. Of Course he would come up with the implement attachment to a Model T, being a farmer in the beginning and of the old school mindset waste nothing.

This is fascinating as I knew nothing about harvesting hay

Is there any question why farming was the most dangerous occupation?

Really interesting to watch!

My gg grandfather died on top of a hay wagon stacking hay. His son got stabbed by a barn hay hook and died. My grandfather sold more Allis Chalmers combines starting in the 1930s at Lennon, Michigan than anyone. The goal was to get rid of horses and old steam harvesters. I harvested wheat and corn with a cab on a John Deere 95 combine. Wow, farming evolved within 50 years.

Amazing documentary. Thank you for sharing. I love this stuff.

Wonderful documentary. My husband actually operated that last combine while employed on a grain property on the darling Downs Queensland Australia in the early 70s

I am 31 years old and I proud to say I grew up with a threshing ring. Being Amish had its perks!

This video is great!! It’s filled with so many things I remember growing up here. Also my best friend and his family had a cameo. Which was a total surprise to both of us. He was almost 4 at the time of taping. Thank you again to all who made this film happen. 🎉🎉

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Very enjoyable seeing 👀those work horses pulling the loaded wheat wagon/harvesting devices. 😉.. Far as manual hand sickles go-??? OH my aching back-!!! 😵. Viewing this presentation from the comfort of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀of Florida 🐊🐊. Nothing quite like a juicy Florida navel orange 🍊🍊-!!!😋😋. Wishing viewers/farmers a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 )🌈🎉😉..
