Made in 1949, CATTLE AND THE CORN BELT presents the story of meat and corn production in the American Middle West. It shows a typical cattle ranch and the duties of the cow-hand; transporting cattle to corn belt for fattening; typical corn-belt farm with mechanical harvesting methods; and an annual country fair. The film includes images of a slaughterhouse, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation, railroads, stock yards, packing plants, and more. The film features images of Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa (the leading corn growing state), farming and cultivation, manufacture of feed, harvesting of soybeans, silos, hog raising, cattle raising, and more. The Olson farm near Marshallton, Iowa is profiled at the 3 minute mark. Cattle from Wyoming end up at the Olson farm where they are fattened up for sale, a process shown at the 8:30 mark. The Marshall County Fair at the 11:30 mark remains similar to modern ones, with a cattle show, carnival rides, contests, and more.

These great film's were shown in 1960's classrooms on 16 mm Bell & Howell movie projectors in Morris County, NJ on cold and rainy day's. I loved them #
My dad was about "Bob Olson's" age when this was filmed, except on a Kansas wheat and cattle farm. Very interesting! The farm machinery looks very rudimentary but it was also a heckuva lot less expensive. Today's machinery is outrageously expensive.
A lot less expensive, and took a lot less to maintain, and they ran forever!
This film is apparently dated from before 1955 based on the Avery tractors in it. Before the closure of Minneapolis Moline in 1972 the archived records of the B F Avery Co going back to 1825 were in its possession. They apparently were tossed during closure and demolition of the MM plant in Minneapolis MN.
From Wikipedia:
"BF Avery was an American manufacturer of agricultural machinery known for its line of tractors. The company began in 1825 with the manufacturing of plows before shifting to tractors in the late 1930s. The company was purchased by Minneapolis-Moline in 1951, and the line of tractors was discontinued in 1955."
Boy howdy that was good 👍
I worked on farms when I was younger
I really wish I could own a farm but land and machinery prices make that almost impossible.
KFJB is AM 1230 in Marshalltown IA. The pickup they go to the fair in is an International.
Thats what I was thinking, so was the livestock hauler to the farm.
@@cathymuehring893Yes, it's a K, KB series. They were made right before and after WW2. The TV series, "Highway Patrol" has these K, KB trucks in several episodes.
When i wasgrowing up in the early sixties in wi we use to go past the cattle yards watching them un load cattle f rom the trains and wi use to be the Dairy capital of the world when we took rides in the country we would drive past a lot of farms with a corn cattle wheat ect
God bless America 🙏
To think the Indians were here for thousands of years and were still living in the Stone Age when whites came. And look how much we did in just 300 years.

Am I naive or is there a reason for the young lady to walk across the wagon as the corn is loaded?
She could help push the crop around if it starts piling too high near an edge, but probably riding along because it’s fun, and she could help with hitching and unhitching wagons when full.
Does it still work like this?
No, most has changed, very few big stock yards remain and things have modernized.
Corporate farms have taken over, and government subsidized programs unfairly help some but not others. Basically it's a shitshow and the good ol days are long gone
Hate Mr. Olson’s hat. Love county fair time.
Today we eat Kangaroo meat. True story. Chains caught selling the stuff. Look it up. I was raised on a farm in Michigan. We raised white winter wheat along with corn, oats, barley, alfalfa, rye and white beans. One year we raised buckwheat. We raised chickens, sheep, dairy cows, and large herds of pigs. We took our stock to Detroit. We farmed over a thousand acres throughout the 50s and 60s. Army drafted my ass and put me on helicopters as a crew chief flying and repairing them. I'm a combat vet. I got a PhD. I worked in DC for 2 years. Drunks and crooks hang out in that den. Wake up America. You're being duped. I'm almost 80. God bless.
