It feels like we're watching a film in grade school class. which would be about 1973.
Humanity needs these videos. we need to see where we came from.,and how far they have come, but we should also think about how small scale farms were cool too
Thank you, Skip!
Cheers 🍻
Raised on a farm. Left for the military late 60s- came home in 90)...never recognize the operation today
Great footage
Great video, I spent most of my childhood summer months in South Dakota. It was exactly like the video!!!

Very informative. Man, the prices on some of those doughnuts and bread packages in 1973....inflation is very stealthy
Diagnosed with Celiac in my mid 40's reading the labels on foods tells me that 99% of processed packaged foods contain wheat in some form or another...
I can remember when they built the "new" Centron studio in Lawrence, Kansas on 9th street; around the early 60's. They did a lot of this type of film production back in the day.;
I'm sold. I'm going out and getting some wheat!
What a cool film. So many great shots of vintage farm equipment. And Buc-Wheats! General Mills really needs to bring that cereal back. The funny thing is that the film production and most clips seem like it’s from the ‘60s or even ‘50s, but then the elevator worker with long hair and the other one with a ‘70s Pepsi can show up and slam us into the early ‘70s.

Farm equipment doesn't turn over that quickly. I grew up on a farm in the late 60's and early 70's. If you judge us by the equipment we used, you would have thought it was the early 1950's.
