I love watching these old videos of Christmas 🤶

Pure video GOLD. Not many farmers had motoin picture cameras and in color too. This is like watching my Dad and Grampa.

❤

Speaking as a farmer, the guy kissing the horses muzzles for the last time was one of the saddest things, think of all the time him and his team spent together, I know agriculture was bound to change to tractors, but it's very sad we lost that sort of kinship if you will.

Amazing story of your life

Flash backs to when I was a kid,, about the only thing I really hated was bailing hay, hot dusty, itchy work. Some times I miss those days

I remember many Summers behind the New Holland hay baler. I remember one summer we bailed more than 1,500 bales. Those were good old days.

Very good

Really enjoy your videos

Great story

Thanks for sharing. I will watch this a hundred times and save for each Christmas. I know a couple million idiot liberals who would hate this. I pity them.

I love watching these old holiday movies. One thing I’ve noticed is that, for the most part, everyone’s trees were little.

I have pulled bales off that very same model new holland baler in the 60s and 70s in switzerland and ripley counties in Indiana.

I agree with an earlier comment that this is a beautifully narrated historical film. Best wishes and thank you from the UK.

That was truly amazing. Thank you so very much for sharing it.

When neighbour's were still neighbour's.....

What an absolute treasure! Thanks for sharing

Have watched great video thanks. Can i use this footage to make the video for educational purpose?? Thanks form Korea.

Sense when do combines have internet and where can I get me one of those 😂

I love your videos so much my dad talked about a case hand tie baler. They need it to Bale straw they could not find anybody to thrash anymore and had to buy a combine. Back in the fifties everybody could make a good living on a hundred and fifty Acres. Of course they had beef cattle 30 milk cows some Hogs sheep chickens they raise their food and went to church. Government regulation has eliminated all small businesses and Farms now we have to work for corporations who control the world.

It's hard to believe 1940 was 79 years ago today, Both my Grandfather & Mother were born in 1939. The world used to be SO Simple, Now It's gone to hell.

Really beautiful and we'll narrated. You have a very pleasant voice. The footage is really well done also

That was good!

Really cool, thanks for sharing

Ahhh, its so sweet you have your memory's on film. you are so much a lucky man, treasure these for ever, xx

How did you get this film. !!!. How I wish my parents would have done some recording. Lucky man.

Thanks for sharing.

Our greatest generation. Thank you for sharing

Sad really, it was the beginning of the end. Thanks for sharing this. It was very moving.

The narration is really excellent! Thanks so much for sharing this info.

Windom is my mom's hometown. She graduated in 1938. Wish there was more to see!

I just stumbled upon this video thanks for sharing, brings back memories for sure. . But not quite this for back, lol.. and for someone to have an 8mm camera, especially a farmer in them days, they had money.. would have been very few in the old Magnolia state, my home.. I'm gonna add to my KZbin channel so I can easily find to watch again, for personal use of course, thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing your 8 mm 'home' movie clips; memories of growing up on the family dairy farm were renewed, as well as Biblical applications in song and scripture.

Wow... bringing back memories

Thank You for putting this video for us to see. They need courses in school for Life 101 and this should be part of it.

I was wondering why is this video unavailable? It was once according to the comments below, so what happened? I would love to see it!

Uncle Charlie and aunt Emma were very ugly....what an ugly family

What an amazing video you put together. Thank you for sharing!

you had a great childhood my friend, be proud of it.

all they all dead? :(

that's great video I'm glad I watched it

Great video!

Thanks again !

You have some amazing footage! Thanks for sharing and now it is preserved forever!

What a treat to see this. So much of it is in my past as I also grew up on a farm and participated in all the activities shown here. (although we called them "stooks' instead of 'shocks') Cut hay with a pull type mower and then a self propelled rig, baling, loading and stacking - been there, done that. And although I was born to be a farmer, I had an intense interest in technology and made my life career in the field of computers.www.flickr.com/photos/olddognewtrick/collections/72157600018099462/

That was amazing, thank you

Just wonderful....back before television and the console radio was the star of the living room. Requiring imagination, not thumb skills.

Slim, I hope you're doing well. How did it come to be that your family had a color camera back then? Love your videos. A great addition and a great service to the history of the family farm on KZbin.

I thought the women were hot and would have done them doggie style with a swirl.

This is so neat! I wonder how many people were able to afford camars like this back then..? What a treasure to have!
