A series of display panels looks at period advertising for promoting seeds for crops.
Farming has come a long way, with high-tech lending a hand.
One more look up at the hayloft.
This tractor is mock up at the front, with the real thing behind. The windshield is in fact a view screen, with the entire thing a simulator for driving the real one. There was a line up to give it a try, but I wanted to photograph it.
Some of life's best pleasures.
Love your new banner photograph!
ReplyDeleteDriving a tractor would be fund. Nice displays. Old advertising art has a lot of charm.
I agree.
DeleteHawaii is the only US state that grows chocolate!
ReplyDeleteFigures!
DeleteA fun tractor. Still a few working farms near me. One dates back 700 years. Although it has changed owners a few times. I had coffee there with the local historical society a few years ago as the current farmer told us about his life at the farm. He can be very funny also, what are you growing on that field? His answer was short, viagra.
ReplyDeleteQuite a history.
DeleteA great exhibit, the panels are great advertisement. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteImagine living on a farm and eating fresh food, food closest to it's natural form, everyday! Followed by processed chocolate for dessert!
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteFresh if the farm is always the best. We buy most of our produce from local Mennonite farmers.
ReplyDeleteLocal is always good.
Delete...promotion is everything!
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteSome nice advertising.
ReplyDeleteI think so.
DeleteLooks interesting. It’s kind of amusing to think of people lining up to drive a pretend tractor.
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteGreat pictures. Love the banner.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI like the old signs.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteAmazing changes can be brought about with work on seeds.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteBeautiful and informative post! More evidence chocolate must be good for us--especially since Canadian scientists paid for a huge excursion and dig-- to Ecuador.
ReplyDeleteChocolate is good for us!
DeleteWilliam, your header is spectacular!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, farm produce should be promoted ... always.
Indeed.
DeleteYes the farming industry is very important to our world, it's one of the main industries here.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
DeleteWe are fortunate to have a farm shop nearby.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

DeleteThe art is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is.

DeleteYes, our farmers are so important and it seems there are fewer today out by where I live anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the case.
