Sadly, these folks are leaving us at such a rapid pace, they are so missed.

[@davidshafer9902]

Awesome documentary this is one of the greatest I’ve seen yet. Makes me long for the good old days

[@gregjohnson720]

What a fantastic story. Bless him

Love Windmills. Our Family made Wolcott windmills in Albion, Michigan years ago (before my time). The patterns were still in storage until the 1980s. Since then they appear to be lost forever. The Wolcott windmills were at one time all over the USA and in many other countries and on several different continents.

[@joebass517]

I'd really enjoy stopping by this man's farm imagine the story's and knowledge from days gone by, I'd even enjoy working on the windmills with him, lost history of harnessing the wind to pump up water, schools should run field trips out to his farm to teach the young folk about this wind energy and im sure this man would enjoy, teaching the kids. Great upload guys👍

This was mistakenly noted as being in Earth, Texas. It was in fact Spearman, Tx. He was my grandfather. Yes, he is greatly missed!

[@MarkASmith48]

Nicely filmed.

Back in 70s we enjoyed staying with the Buchanans. They loved Jesus and hospitality. J.B. donated one of his prized windmills to the Smithsonian.

The audio is so different sounding, then I realized it was from 1989 😮

[@tonyguill6209]

Kool story!

[@deancalloway5118]

Nothing wrong about being a Windmill addict.

Last of the great breed...

[@randyrhyne1195]

Sadly a lot of city councils have passed ordinance to keep you from putting one up on your property. You could hook one up to a generator and save on your electric bill.

[@JM-yx1lm]

Makes sense because why would you need one inside city limits?

[@randyrhyne1195]

@@JM-yx1lm Because you can turn a generator that you can plug into your house. I’ve seen people generate enough electricity to sell it back to the power company. I’ve actually seen a meter going backwards. Imagine going on a vacation and coming home to a credit on your electric bill. Windmills can be a very good investment if you live in an area where you can have one. Some cities in cooperation with the electric companies have made it illegal.

[@wheelmanstan]

do they handle high wind pretty good?

[@Savala-66]

Интересная модель!

[@lyndadouglas9375]

Wind control

[@texaskidzuk]

May his mansion in Heaven be surrounded by windmills. Amen.
