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.
