This longform advertising film (which includes an intermission) from the 1950s is an educational film presented by the J. I. Case Co. about agriculture and machinery. The Case Company was founded in 1842 and manufactured agricultural and construction equipment. It eventually merged with International Harvester and is now part of the entity known as CNH Global. The film is parted into two sections, first covering the seeding and cultivation of crops, followed by the harvesting all whilst using the farming equipment and machinery from J. I. Case Co. The tractor shown appears to be a Case 430 or 530, but it's not identified by model #.

I always loved riding with dad when he was plowing I’d get on the fender of his ih 806 and ride all day and if I was bored I’d get off and play in the creek

I shared this to the Victorian Farmers federation in Australia . A valuable educational film as it shows all aspects of farming . Thank you

That was an excellent video! Just what would have been shown in 1955 at a Farmer's Lunch open house at your local Case dealer. Man, there was nothing better than being allowed to stay home from school for that! It was even better than the Fair!

I never got to own an old antique case tractor but I've always loved them and I would love get some type of j I case equipment even an old case pull type combine would be a dream come true for me

A nice episode of the case tractor and the how's they use the equipment for the farmers so they can produce and harvest the food we eat

Grew up on a farm in the 1950's in Eastern Washington dry land grain hilly area.I didn't know case made a hillside combine.Most combines that were seen in use were.John Deere ,International or Gleaner and some Massey Harris hillside machines. There were a few Case Level land combines on the level land in the Columbia basin area.

6:33 A tractor with full side covers I wonder how long any of those side covers survived? 7:06 First mention of contour farming and soil conservation. Back in the 50s there were clearly still some die-hards that believed erosion was less costly than straight rows. Back in the 60s in elementary school we were still being taught about the miracle of soil conservation that was contour farming. Contour farming was promoted by the US Soil Conservation Service in the US during the 30s. Wikipedia also had this about the history of contour farming: The Phoenicians first developed the practice of contour farming and spread it throughout the Mediterranean. However, the Romans preferred cultivation in straight furrows and this practice became standard. When did corn planting switch from 3 seed kernels dropped together to the modern strategy of a single seed kernel?

I wonder what the world would be like today had they never used fertilizer.

[@dwightl5863]

Not using fertilizers would result in having to breakup new ground after a few years of crop production. Growers have always used fertilizers in one form or the other. Some soils are lacking the necessary nutrients and need to be supplemented. Better yields result. I seem to recall from grade school in the 1950's that some cultures would bury a fish beneath the seed in gardens. As the plant grew, the roots would get nutrients from the rotting fish. IMHO

@@dwightl5863 This method was introduced by Native American Indians for corn planting, when pilgrims first arrived at Plymouth Rock.

[@ronaldlee2376]

@@dwightl5863 Also, Yankee farmers, upon clearing land in midwest for farming utilized virgin soil to raise Timothy Hay, followed by crop of Flax the next. Within 5 years ground was depleted, Yankee moved unto new ground & repeated process; never learning from his mistake. It took decades to rebuild soil with manure/fertilizer. Hope this helps.
