- 1962 New Holland 16mm film "Food, Famine, and Farmer Brown" Tells how farmers in the United States in 1962 could each produce enough food to feed 26 people and how that compares to other parts of the world thanks to advances in technology. Brief history of some farming innovations and clips of farms using New Holland equipment including balers, forage harvesters, and bale conveyers used throughout the film.
Old films without sound or quality picture is sure much better than keeping it in the can and not being seen. The people who filmed this and other films did it for us to see. Thanks for posting it.
Technically they did it for the farmers to see back in the 60s when this particular equipment was still being manufactured but I get what you’re saying.
Great Video with a Timeless Message. It would be interesting to know how many people are being fed per farmer today and what food costs are in different areas. Thanks so much for sharing this gem of a video. Really Appreciate your time.
Another lesson. Thank you very much for this one J and L.
Spoken 1962 "never ending quest for peace!" and the end of the footage :
it is definitely more actually now than ever.
Oh gosh thanks for this one
I noticed a very strange message at the near beginning of the clip; "World War I when we first felt the true importance of food". It was Napoleon Bonaparte that said an army marches on its stomach. That had been realized way before WW I!
I wished i had lived in that times.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good day from Ontario. Boy good video. Thanks
Pretty neat video.👍
Great video!
Today's world people could care less about the farmers and I hope that mabe Americans will wake up one day and realize that we need to go back to making everything we need in house and the back bone of this country is the farmer still.... But ya I'm not holding my breath the people in this country r clueless and don't care about anything but filling there pockets and themselves as a farmer I still say shut all the AG down and let's starve these idiots in the cities and make them realize who is on top and get the recognition we deserve.....
And nowadays today people don't know where food comes from pa sides a store, people also nowadays today don't want to be farmers because oh it cuts them away from playing sports I guess. Nowadays framing industry is dropping like flies all due to cost, labor, and style of life it is. So instead nowadays people prefer to live in towns and cities instead in the country for growing their own food smh no wonder why framing industry is dropping like flies cuz people append on the factories to give them food. But apparently nowadays people don't care about the history / legacy of farming, sides lots of old farm homesteads been sold and divided into house lots almost like everything else, like our country for a example for freedom and peace, but apparently people today prefer no freedom and no peace, but prefer to append on the government for hand outs and for permission smh.. But that's my opinion I guess. So inerways good video of showing that.
The average farmer fed 164 people in 2016. We have less and less farmers every year, as farms grow larger and larger. Not so sure this is the right direction
I have around 70 cows and I'm 28 and I can tell you with the highest assurance, in my lifetime I've seen many changes in my industry and many are definitely not for the betterment of its farmers. I have a neighbor who milks well over multiple thousand cows at three different farms and he is always first to whine about "how is his kids going to farm these days" ....well even though I am not one take your look at the Mennonite communities in this country many as myself are still on 1950s tie stall barns milking anywhere from 40 to 80 cows and depending on how harsh this inflation continues, live simply and thrifty. The real question is how am I and those of us that are left in the small brackets going to survive Mr. neighbor? When you and the few thousand cows you milk round the clock non stop have flooded the markets so badly that you've driven the demand down and our profits?
Bottom line big farms serve three purposes 1 to keep the equipment manufacturers in business ie they are the only ones able to buy brand new 2 they feed the solid milk indindustry ie many of the mega herds have low or no components to speak of 3 Government loves conglomeration ie look at your neighborhood mega herd many are usually they buy up all the local farms and merge it all under one centralized farm the soviets loved this idea and called the system collective farming one area would be served by one or two mega farms run as a public private partnership and therefore government regulations were easier to enforce. Make no mistake there is a movement under way to kill off the small American family farm look at equipment nothing is made for the small man anymore and it's on purpose. Drive us out.
@@KlineDeere congratulations to you on your ability to struggle forward Mack. I am 61 and have been milking 70-80 cows for 41 years, and about ready to wrap it up.
I agree, the components in the milk of the larger farms doesn’t truly reflect what the market wants. Butter Fat and Protein is what makes the processing industry money, because that is the part of the milk which is turned into products like butter and cheese. Skim milk is worth very little, and fluid demand has been declining since the end of WW2.
We milk Jerseys, and last month our Butter Fat was 5.5% and Protein 4.1%
I don’t know what the answer to the over supply of milk is, but I do think non farm investors are what prop up the mega farms. And the traditional family farm is the best model for society. Farms grow good food and productive children. All the best to you Mack
@@bruceprentice6441 thank you sir I love jerseys we hold a 4.5 with a mixed herd but working towards all Jersey. I was 16 when I bought a first jersey and it just grew from there now I have around 30 the rest are b&w holstein or r&w with a few linebacks interspersed I married my wife in 2018 and in that year I became a member of the AJCA I'm so proud of my girls they only make 60 pounds a day but they again are with Holsteins right now we have a small 50 stall barn but we can and have been as high as 77. We switch around 20-25 cows every milking. I'd love to expand the barn so all my cows were under one roof but I cannot afford it right now. We purchased the 52 acre farm from her dad in 2020 and we have just had our first child and he is 3 months now. Your right about family farms it is THE cornerstone I fear if we lose it from the foundation, the whole tapestry will fray in the fabric of the American Soul. Where are you located? are you registered?
@@KlineDeere I am in Ontario Canada. Our system is different, but as you probably understand the basic issues facing dairy facing dairy farmers are the same. My barn has 105 tie stalls, and I use auto take off milkers that ride on a track line. So we can keep dry cows/close up heifers with the milking herd.
We were fully registered, but pure bred market has all but disappeared. Breed lower end cows Angus now.
Agree 💯 percent....... all people care about is cheap food and they don't care who they run out of business on the way...the large farms more or less don't work for themselves they all work for the banks because most of them owe so much money to the bank that the banks can't let them go out of business so literally they keep dumping money to these guys so that way the banks stay in business and all the small farmers pay the price because we r the ones paying r bills and paying our debts to the banks just so the bank has money to operate... Tell me how that is fare to the small guys ... Personally they need to put a quota in play to put these big guys in the red and then it would become a whole new market again but hear again it will never happen because the government wants all the small guys out and only the big guys left in the game....the AG industry is going down the tubes quickly and it's sad to say but I seriously hope known of my kids go back into the AG industry because of this bullshit.....
The golden age of the United States
Interesting vid👍only if Russians came over to Australia as we similar climates n crops. After US visit the Russians decided to grow corn replacing other crops which ended in failing attempts. Russians geography of rural communities and the way rural communities are supported is another factor why it fails. Australians through natural disasters, tough years have learned adapt, overcome n grow. I believe not just manufacturing, education but sporting weather that Shearing competition, Agriculture shows that bonds communities together that builds better farming communities. In 90’s Russians brought American, Europe experience, equipment to build better agriculture but wonder what China be like as 80% water is polluted, non agricultural education, poorer agricultural communities, are lessons been learned or will future China need importing food from western countries putting huge demand on improving western agricultural?
Why are all you videos red, very annoying
Because they're old and the filmstock used on alot of them is fading away leaving only the red dye.
@@JandLVideos I am glad someone saved the video's. Go on please, for me no matter how bad quality is.
Tim it couldn't be any different than black and white films/ what pictures their were. The thing is that's how cameras were back then, they didn't had them high tech fancy cameras like the ones people are using today..
@@frankr.1594 I also love seeing the old films.
@@JandLVideos I wasn't sure whether the film was that far gone or if you were adding a vintage filter. Color correction is not perfect but could help reduce the red.
And now look. We are suffering from all this
Yeah. It's dictating vs freedom
All I can say is that Americans really need to stop showing our trade secrets
