Maybe he only wondered how fast time goes bye?

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.

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’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.

I am grateful to our farmers past present and future.

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

Good time when people love to farm and work!❤

The family working together ❤❤

A Massey Harris 27 harvests acre for acre... this year my 1979 MF440 did the Job as well! Nice Video, thank You!

This film helps me separate the wheat from the chaff

Beutiful farm life

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.

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?

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

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

They were all thin... They ate a lot of fats... Saturated fats.

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.

@@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.
