A commercial intended to be used to get dealers to push uses of electricity on the farm, including running water, milking machines, refrigerators, lights, etc. Has some good scenes of farm life before and after electrification.

A farmer is the most honest living a man can make. I respect them dearly.

The farm I grew up on didn't get electricity or indoor plumbing until 1960.

Too bad farmers listened and became more and more mechanized seizing at every chance to get bigger. Today, all hired immigrants, million dollar machinery, chemicals, GMOs and very little left over which even resembles this family farm "factory". Just a pale shadow of its former glory. It would be kind of cool to try it without electricity again. My Amish neighbors don't look deprived!

@Ron Burgandy The farm crisis of the 80s was the beginning of the end. But the competition between farmers was not just a small factor. A unified response by all involved was never sustained. And so we have what we have. Why try to get along with your brother and sister, your parents and in laws-when you can get a cheap faceless, nameless labor force that shuts up and does the work? Today that's the ag labor and it will never go backwards.

A lot of productive farmland was and is gobbled up by greedy developers, Californians escaping California who are imposing their arrogance where they go who make it into strip malls and urban sprawl. There is a population problem no one wants to deal with. Biden will flood this country with untold millions more. The United States is lost starting in January 2021. I wish I could’ve been my age in 1946.

@@b-genspinster7895 Yes, for sure, I'm not in favor of Trump or even less of Biden. But they are not the cause of what went on, is perpetual and has been that way since Steinbeck penned Grapes of Wrath. Our 'guest workers' who pick the plant foods, milk the cows, processing plants, etc- here by the hundreds of thousands and that has never changed under any president of either party, only gotten bigger. It never will change.

coffeehugger a thought occurs to me. While I cannot argue with illegal immigration never changing and it will be encouraged greatly by a Biden-Harris administration, a lot of the jobs you mentioned are already automated and mechanized. Cows are milked and monitored by automation. Wheat is combined. A 20th of human intervention I’d required. I lived in the southwest and Midwest. The jobs being taken by undocumented workers are skilled ones like carpenters and mechanics. Wages are being driven down. In fact, I tried hiring a crew 15 years ago to do yard work. Ironically, the undocumented workers gathered in front of the labor department building. They would not work for less than 15 bucks an hours which wasn’t much less than I made then in a legitimate arrangement . I could extrapolate further but the at the end of the day, it all boils down to far too many people in the world. A lot of people try to rationalize it, but dancing around the elephant in the room reasoning why it has to be this way or that won’t change the way things really are. I appreciate and thank you for a rational well-thought out reply. So many won’t these days.

Our old house built by my grandparents in the early 1930's was originally set up with Delco generating system for running a direct current system with batteries 🔋. Not very efficient but by the 1940's it had been due to the REA Cooperative system to alternating current much more efficient allowing the house a variety of better easier to use appliances etc.

My dad ran electric service to one of our barns in the summer of 1969 to have lighting and to hang heat lamps to help our sows to farrow during cold weather.

I don't quite remember it but, IHC Manufactured electric stoves, refrigerators, and freezers for the home the appliances were sold and serviced by the local IHC farm equipment dealer. They quit it around the early 1960's sadly 😥

When my parents bought our farm in 1971 there was an old IHC freezer in the farm house. The previous owners left it because it was heavy and they didn't want to move it. The farm got electricity in 1947 and indoor plumbing in 1953.
