Jess Ranch before & after

Jess Ranch was a 1500 acre ranch that produced turkeys, trout and crops. There was a feed mill, processing plant and complete maintenance shop.
This video was taken between the years of 1978-1983. It is of the Jess Ranch before it was developed.
The captions are a small amount of what is here now, at the Jess Ranch Marketplace and the housing development.

What a great video. I posted this on my facebook page since I lived the majority of my life in the HD and I got a ton of comments...people wanted to know if they could get a copy of it for their parents or grand parents that didn't have the internet. Any ideas how I might be able to get that for them?

@BandRescue if your parents have a DVD player you could download the video then convert it to a DVD format and burn it on a disc.

@AJPvideo Do you know what program to use to download it with? I've never taken vids off of YouTube before.

@BandRescue I use Real Player to download from YouTube it's free.

Big industry fucks up another beautiful 1500 acres! Congrats!!!!

@MWMcKinley it's called going out of the turkey business. Back taxes and forclosure due to bad times in the farming business. Get your facts straight buddy,, we would still be in the ranching business today if we could.
