Farming with my dad in '70s and '80s best time of my life, I'm sitting here just missing those times right now!! Life was good, what a great video, and I thank you!
I know how you feel . I grew up on a 1500 acre farm back in the 70’s . Worked it with my dad and brothers . Dad was killed in a tractor roll over in 2000 , 1 brother died in 2011 , and the other brother got cancer . Now the farms are all rented out and the equipment has all been sold . Man I miss those days .
Worked on my uncle's dairy farm in the late 80s. Seems like this really was a great decade for farmers at least on family operations who weren't involved with the banks in those s year's. Money was decent most the time and the equipment was iconic in those years. Every time I go back to MI all the family operations are now closed or owned by some company.
Those were the days I wish I could visit, even though we still farm today with a lot of machinery that existed in 1980 it just doesn't feel the same, I was born in 2009 but I've always found the late 70's and early 80's interesting, especially in rural America, we had a 78 F-250 just like the one in the video up until not to long ago, and the black buick reminded me a lot of the brown 1974 ford ltd my grandma had that she used to go to town.
2011 here, I find 50s and 60s very interesting, not one bit of any plastic garbage on the tractors, and they sound awesome, some tractors were built with straight pipes from the factory.
@@30acreshop_time For sure, I morseo prefer your 60's and 70's and early 80's equipment, but I do actually own a 1950 Farmall H that my grandpa gave me, so that does mean a lot to me to have a 74 year old tractor still running that he bought brand new in 1950, and it's great to see more young people like myself and yourself take an interest in older farm equipment no matter how old it is
@@Richard-Allen that last thing is very true, it’s nice seeing other young people to relate to about this stuff. I myself have a 1965 806 that my great grandfather bought new.
@@30acreshop_time For sure, I feel the exact same way. I myself have always liked the 806's, when I was little my dad gave me a 1/16 scale ertl 806 toy that he had since he was a young boy, I of course still have that replica.
This is still us. Same machinery as we had purchased a lot of it new in the late70s and early 80s. Not much money since then to upgrade so we just repair and keep going.
Yep that was the eighties. Cultivating tillage etc... I suffered through them till I went bankrupt. Lot of good times and even more bad times. That was a lifetime ago...
I’m assuming due to the cotton crop, this was filmed somewhere in the south. The landscape reminds me of the low country of SC. Flat sandy soil with tons of pine trees.
Prosperous farm for that time. Cringe seeing him walk through that dusting session & breathing & absorbing all that chemical through his skin. Like riding your bike through the mosquito spraying truck when it came to the neighborhood in summer of '73 in Cheraw, SC. "Just what you did as a kid"...
I bet the man waving on the international never thought for a minute 44 years later there would be a guy from Scotland waving back at him 🏴 happy healthy peace ✌️
each year everything costs more to do the same thing done last year to make less and less money it would be interesting to know who is setting the world prices of the commodities as the inputs never seem to cost less

well, like a guy once said, "give me control of a nation's currency, and I care not who makes its laws."
Turning dirt to feed the world the American🇺🇸 Farmers all work and no play thanks for posting👏👏👏👏
Back when u could farm no gps no beeping crap all in the cab with u just the ground and row markers good old days
Definitely in the south somewhere, can tell by the wide spaced rows and R2’s. Amco was also an up and coming brand in southern states back in the 80’s

The crazy part is seeing a new bin set up that small.

What a gorgeous film and video. So relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
We need to go back..im making a time machine to go back to the 80s anyone coming with me
Can I go? I started farming 6 acres in 1973. Love the simple times in the 80's. Just worked hard and long hours!
Já se taky přidám. Díky za lístek 😊.
Those were the good days! 👍

Good times on the farm!
Nice 👍
The 80s seemed high tech back then, now it seems old fashioned.
Nice❤️
Class video, the articulated international is a mighty job

Those were good times older machiney and cotton always enjoyed plowing cotton
Good stuff..
Glad you enjoyed it
Film is great! Also love the music selection. Does anyone know the name?
I worked on a La rice farm in the late 70’s, $15 a day
They never show how Jimmy Carter affected farming.
He destroyed all small American farmers.
Where was this filmed?
