It feels like we're watching a film in grade school class. which would be about 1973.

When you hear that first second of tape hissing you know you're in for a banger of a video

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

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...

Very informative. Man, the prices on some of those doughnuts and bread packages in 1973....inflation is very stealthy

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.;

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.
