    As a former FFAer and 4her, it's cool to watch the old demo tapes of farming in the 40s to the 90s. I was born in 2009, and our farm runs allis chalmers equipment.

      Ahoj. To že pracuješ i se starými traktory je důkazem jak spolehlivé jsou když je poctivě vyrobí. Můžeš alespoň srovnávat s těmi novými stroji. Měj se.

    I’m currently working harvest and it’s a fun job. I drive truck and on average I’m hauling 440 bushel a load and sometimes I take 15 loads in a day. We have 45 foot headers on the combine and have bankout wagons to go into the hills where the trucks have a hard time getting to and fills up to then fill up our trucks. It’s long hours and usually no days off unless it rains.

    How was wheat farming done in 1850s to 1860s without any machinery?

    • @aaronfarr4753
      @aaronfarr4753 23 дня назад +1

      In the 1700’s to early 1800’s. Mules horses or oxen for plowing homemade wooden spike harrows or beams studded with railroad spikes. Brush and small trees dragged the smooth the soil then it was sown by hand either from a sack or with a hand crank seeder ( think modern push type fertilizer or seed spreader used on lawns only with a bag instead of hopper on top and carried around on a shoulder strap) Harvest was done by cradle scythe (until 1831 when Cyrus McCormick invented the reaper) and threshing done on a threshing floor either by treading by animals or beating with flails and allowing the grain to fall through cracks or holes in the floor of the threshing house into a basement collecting area and further separation of the grain from the chaff was done by literally tossing it into the air and letting the chaff blow away and letting the grain fall onto a sheet or tarp on the ground. By the 1840’s animal powered threshing machines were availableBy the 1850’s grain drills basically just like the ones in use in this video for planting reapers/ binders pulled by animals and steam power were available and widely used.

      That’s definitely not a GMO wheat variety. Didn’t exist until recently.
      In October 2020, Argentina approved the world's first genetically engineered wheat for cultivation and consumption
      We have a few growers here in the Canadian prairies that produce Red Fife,Einkorn,Emmer,etc for specialty flour companies.

      Yea that is not GMO wheat. We still do not grow GMO wheat in Kansas and we probably never will because too many of the countries we export to would not accept it. The wheat is most likely Turkish Red wheat from Ukraine or a dwarf variety which is not a GMO but the result of selective breeding.

      @@davidagostinho1807 dude it is Kansas. It does not get much rain and back then especially when the tillage practice was to use a oneway, you don’t conserve much moisture. The wheat does not grow tall at all. It does not matter if it is Einkorn wheat or Spelt. I have grown those in test plots on my farm and they did not get very tall at all either because of moisture. Hybridization is also not some lab thing and neither are dwarf wheats. Hybridization occurs naturally in nature and is just the cross pollination of two different breeds of the same crop. Dwarfism in plants is also a natural genetic defect and does not need to be created in a lab. Plant a field and you will find some dwarf plants. Then just select the dwarfs and replant them. It is not some boogie magic science.
