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.
The elevator in the first part is Carlton ks my uncle help build the main house in 45 or 46 the annex was around 1950 or 51 I still haul grain out of that elevator to this day the elevator later in the video is Talmage my mother's side of family is from there thank u so much for putting this out there I have watched it over and over
1:00 Three cultivations for one planting. That is what caused massive topsoil loss over decades. But with the technology they had, it was the best they could do.
Brings back memories from that era in Eastern Washington except combines were equipped with levelers for steep hillsides.used Holt model 12 pull combine ,John Deere 36 pull combine John Deere 55 hillside combine all had R.A. Hanson levelers built in Spokane Washington.
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.
Ha! ha!The women brought out lunch! The modern women would never do that, that's abuse!The modern farm wife goes to town and spends the money and does TicToc videos.Cook,clean or help out?Hell no! Can't have that!
Damn, at that time they were already growing massively GMO wheat, look at how short it is! Hope the future goes goes back to ancient varieties, like emmer, einkorn, korasan or spelt
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.
@@SkyDavis100 wheat that short? that's definitely not organic, go see those old varieties, like spelt, emmer and einkorn, they are super tall, short wheat is a work of science hybridisation.
@@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.

Nothing tasted better than eating lunch in the field ,great memories.
Yes just simple bread with butter, ham or corned beef and a little cheese and a cup of tea with milk and sugar.

Boy, this brought back a lot of memories! Those were good days back in the 40's and 50's. I'd got go back in a heartbeat.

I am grateful to our farmers past present and future.
Good time when people love to farm and work!❤
That's a good film , eating in the field , judging the work and the weather , family doing the best . All good
The family working together ❤❤
Oh my gosh, I’m loving this . ❤️
A Massey Harris 27 harvests acre for acre...
this year my 1979 MF440 did the Job as well!
Nice Video, thank You!
That boy helping his dad would be about 80 years old today.
You learned how to add and subtract, congrats.
@@farmcentralohio aren’t you smart
Maybe he only wondered how fast time goes bye?
And the Dad must be around 110 years old today.
Thank you.
nice good old days.

This film helps me separate the wheat from the chaff
Krásně řečeno.❤
Anybody notice the old mans missing finger? Thats how you know he was a legit farmer...
Yep, a farmer friend of my parents' had a stub.
Beutiful farm life
That lads working life is now well behind him..😢
🙏
Thats crazy that Australia was still bagging wheat off whilst Americans we’re leading bulk handling
Does the Travel Film Archive ever project these on a film projector for viewing?
They were all thin...
They ate a lot of fats...
Saturated fats.
non-gmo
the men were thin because the worked hard and smoked
@@graveyardelf6765 You don’t have a clue. Tell me what food isn’t GMO,then tell me why GMO foods are bad. You’re just spouting out crap you’ve heard.
Hard work from sunrise til sunset
@@graveyardelf6765 As if GMO anything is a bad thing.
Until now days, farmers in my country still use traditional ways, the only one technology that they use are hand tractor to ploughing.
Dad had a 44 Massey Harris like the one seen here
Anybody know where exactly in Kansas this was filmed? I saw K-4, which I'm familiar with, but I didn't recognize any of the towns.
Just a little north of the Texas North side.
K4 is about 370 miles long. Most likely in the central part of the state. The north eastern part has more trees and hills.
@@danmekeel7758 Do you mean north Oklahoma ?
How was wheat farming done in 1850s to 1860s without any machinery?
In the 1700’s to early 1800’s. Mules horses or oxen for plowing homemade wooden spike harrows or beams studded with railroad spikes.

@aaronfarr4753 Thanks so much for your detailed response. Happy Holidays to you
@ you are most welcome. The history of farming is fascinating and full of genius inventions.
The breadbasket of America

My wife and mother in law both bring lunch to the field.

That's rare.You are fortunate.Bet if you look around you won't find ten others that can say the same.
Není to pravidlo. Je ale pravda, že teď už se taková skvělá žena hledá velmi velmi velmi špatně 😊 .
At that time There was No Pornography 😭
Haha. It all comes back to porn with some people, lol
I would say in those times there were no street drugs. The downfall of our communities now.
Pornography and street drugs both existed.

In Europe we had bigger combines and tractors,and better crops
Ahoj. Především však výnosy plodin byly násobně vyšší.
Umm no you didn’t!
I'm blocking this channel because of the annoying watermark.
i turned 9 the year this film was made. some films shown at school had the counters visible.
I didn’t even the watermark. Some folks just like to find something to whine about!
This is awesome! "The family goes to town". The phrase "goin' to town" had to come from somewhere right?
