1940s JOHN DEERE TRACTOR & FARM EQUIPMENT SOIL CONSERVATION FILM 45484
Support Our Channel : / periscopefilm
Sponsored by John Deere, this film about soil conservation and farming provides advice about overgrazing, and scientific approaches to soil health. John Deere Van Brunt farm equipment is seen (named after company founder George Van Brunt -- his Van Brunt line was acquired by Deere in 1911) including tractors and grassland drills.
After its founding in the 1860s in Mayville, Wisconsin, the Van Brunt Company product line evolved steadily, but by the mid-1910s after Deere acquired the brand, the transition from horses to tractors led Van Brunt to offer more streamlined products and replace wooden parts with steel. Like many other Deere factories, Van Brunt’s focus shifted during World War II. The factory stopped production of its regular products and began manufacturing utility trailers for the United States Army and bulkheads for freighters operated by the U.S. Maritime Commission. After the war, Van Brunt returned to producing field and orchard cultivators; lime, fertilizer,
and calcium chloride distributors; drill attachments; and a variety of grain drills. Due to their dependability in varied field and soil conditions, the drills were very popular among farmers,
and had helped make the business the largest grain drill factory in the world. The John Deere brand became more prominent in Horicon between 1948 and 1954 as the factory gradually transitioned to painting products traditional John Deere green and yellow. In 1953, a new grassland drill was introduced. It was the first Horicon-made machine without the Van Brunt name. In 1958, the Van Brunt name disappeared completely when the factory
name changed from John Deere Van Brunt Company to John Deere Horicon Works.

Impressive that, throughout this film, there was no _name dropping_ of the John Deere brand.

80 years later grazing is still the best nutrition and profitability!
It’s good to know that cats were as cute as they are now 70 years ago
В СССР об этом только мечтали.все практические в ручную делали в те года.и электропастух вообще появился в 80 гг и то это большач редкость.
My brother still owns and runs my grandpa’s John Deere model A and side cutter ! It’s been overhauled only once.
Still good advice.

www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-White-Engineer-Train-Driver-Hat-Costume-Uniform-/264026904210 Just a guess of course but that's about as close as I can figure it out. Can't see the back side so it might have the typical plastic adjustment band which is NOT what the farmer is wearing - not all of these engineer hats are made the same either.

This is coming very late, but that hat [where the guy is handling the bag and shoveling] _could be_ a variation of what is known as a 'classic railroad engineer's cap.' The coloring of the cap in this video looks lighter than what I've seen with the classic railroad cap, but its profile is similar. There are online sellers of such classic railroad [or train] engineer's caps.

Forking the hay into the barn by hand and cutting the hay with si is proably easier than baling it and owning tractors

It's called a scythe, and you'd need about five minutes using one to see the massive mount of labor involved just doesn't pan out.

Not that is funny. Scythe 1/2 acre per DAY ? Modern machinery 100 + acres per day in airconditioned comfort .
Like I've always said,compaction is a non-issue.
