My cousin added this to facebook. Fantastic. I can just picture my grandpa farming in the Palouse. He lived in Oaksdale. I wish my parents were alive to show this to them. Thanks for sharing. Great music choice.
Neat to watch, but kinda sad in a way. This was the start of farming as a solitary and lonely pursuit. Ten years before, half the town would have turned out with teams, steam engines, water wagons, and whole families to do that work. There it is two men to run a combine. A few years later, one man could run the combine alone.
This was a great vid. I watch it over and over. Farming is my Passion i would say its the best type of passion there is!!! THANKS!!! By the way what was the name of that second song in there and if you could all the others? I LOVE THIS MUSIC
Love it... I grew up in the LaCrosse, Colfax, and Endicott area and we used to play against Colton in Basketball and Football... great years! Loved the films, brought back wonderful memories....
The "Viking" part of your name gave me a hint. I sometimes get up to your town (and school) to watch volleyball tournaments. Also I know the person that runs the museum. Some of my videos are played there. Thanks for your interest.
I absolutly Love these. All of the videos that you've shared. I was grew up in Wisconsin and did help thresh a few times, it was oats usually. Thanks so much for posting these and the great music to go with it. Michael
wonderful! and that's the youngest combine operator I've ever seen. I didn't start until I was 13. It must have been a joy to operate the swather mounted on the rear of the farmall M. I'm only in my 40's but I remember riding in a 1946 KB6 IH truck here in Ontario, similar to yours.
I like the video. Thanks for posting but this is more likely from the late 1950's or 1960's. Color film technology wasn't really available for the most part.
These films were taken by my father in the years immediately following WWII. The farm was our family's home and the children shown are myself and my siblings. I was born in 1941, the littlest kid you see there. There are one or two minor scenes that may have been slightly into the 50's, but the majority is definitely back in the 40's. I still have the original films and the camera that took them. My dad was concerned about the expense of color film, but he could buy it and get it processed.
Sorry about the doubt, it's just very rear to see. I'm glad you've archived it. I sat down with my grandmother and did the same thing with there farm in the Yakima Valley.

Did you have a self-moving combine harvester in the 40's, I don't think that we even had the combine harvesters. But well it's America.

Her maiden name is Keller, and her mom was a Becker—are we related?
