Friday Feature: 1956 Kansas Wheat Farmer

by | Apr 16, 2021 | Ag History, Feature Video, Field Crops, General Agriculture, Wheat

This week’s featured video was a historic Encyclopedia Britannica short film stored on the Charlie Dean Archives YouTube channel.  The 13-minute film shares a year in the life of a Kansas farm family in 1956.  They faced a number of challenges each year, but 1956 was a good year for this farm family.  The film quality is poor, but it is fun to see the equipment, farm trucks, and clothing that were used back in the 50s.
