Farming Belle Valley 1950's

This is from my Great Grandpa and Grandpa's farm Located in Belle Valley, Millcreek Township PA. This was taken in the early / mid 50's.

The farm, house and barn, was located at the corner of Gore Rd and Wattsburg Road where the current Schmidt Funeral Home is located.

The farm included the land where the Cider Mill Hi Rise is and the Belle Valley School along Henderson Rd.

The farming ops show harvesting, planting and other stuffs.

I can identify a Case, Massey Harris, Ford 8N, Oliver HG Crawler, and Threashing machine.

Excellent video! Brings back memories of when I was young. We still have our family farm and I'm still playing in the same barn I played in 50 years ago with a couple of the old tractors I learned to drive on..
