Corn Farmer (1960)

- 600 acres in that time was a massive farm!
- it still is hard work and its still rewarding in our minds, just not in our pockets
A może i takie? farmasi kosmetyki jak nie tu to szukajcie w necie. - Does anybody know what brand of sprayer that is at 5:20?
- This guy had a heck of an operation for 1960 but there is n way he was covering 600 acres with the equipment I saw. Just saying. I did enjoy the video though.
- I never saw either a John Deere or IHC BELLY MOUNT PLANTER IN 8 ROW MOST WIRE EITHER 6 or 4 row but, here in the south Cotton Country ROW SPACING WAS 36 OT 38 INCJES SO AN 8 ROW WOULD HAVE BEEN ALMOST 25 OR 26 FOOT WIDE TOO WIDE FOR SAFE TRANSPORT ON MOST ROADS....
- look how healthy everyone was!!! no obesity. fresh air, hard work, less sugar and processed food.
- I would have liked to have rolled up at Mr. Stones farm with a Case 9250, axil flow combine unfolded the folding corn headed and told him to put his 2 row up, let me cut this 15 acres for ya sir, I’ll be done here in bout 30 minutes or less, I bet the look on his face would have been priceless, lol, just a thought, great video though!!!
- He said 4 corn seeds every 3feet, I wonder why so far apart? Thanks
- The small family farm was the backbone of America and gave farmers a decent living. Now with monocropping of corn and soya bean, this has all changed with the farmer just a cog in the industrial agricultural machine. To find out how ubiqutous cheap corn and soya bean - based on agricultural subsidies encouraging production - has really changed the lives of farmers and consumers, check out 'The Omniove's Dilemma' @t
- Farming then in the USA and Germany was so different...The People there in the USA got big Planters, more than one tractor and much else... My Grandpa worked here in Germany in 1960 with Horses and one Tractor 🙈
- I worked summers on my grandpa's farm in creek county ok. After 6 days of long, long hard work putting up hay, at 430am breakfast he said, "well boys we are gonna work a half a day" i was thinking 4 hours he was thinking 12 hours, it still was shorter than yesterday 😜😜😜🤠🤠🤠

Hard work, great times. In the fall i was in shape for football.
- Look at the corn fields back then. I bet the yield is triple today
- This farmer seemed to be pretty up-to-date on his farming techniques except when they were looking at feeding pigs. By 1960 it was well known that a pig crew much better on ground feed that was a mixture of ground corn and ground soybean meal. This mix got up faster gain and more pounds of pork per pound of feed. Just an observation.
- And corn was probably worth more then than it is now...
- And 15 acres a day was considered good at that time, I combine that many acres taking end rows off of my fields in an hour or so. Times have changed.
- This was a great piece of history these people work hard back then they must be in the 90s or they passed away God bless them all 👍🇺🇸
- Ten years later the world is turned upside down and on a steady path to hell. From 1960 to 2020 the scum has steadily risen to the top. I guess everything has a time frame or life cycle.
- As an actual family farm (which is 98% of farms in America) I would suggest you find one and talk to them about the way things are now instead of making non-fact based opinionated comments. It’s a great life and allows me to provide for my family and my brothers family. Feel free to contact me if you really want to know about agriculture today: collinsfamilyfarms.com. I appreciate all the support and positive comments about putting food on the grocery shelves cheaper than any other country, and safer (aka farming)
- Feeding cattle corn in the 60s? I guess farmers were dumb fucks back then too.
- Modern farming is still very rewarding but hard work, for all enthusiasts out there. Basics haven’t changed much to be honest.
