What was farming like in the 1950s/60s? In contrast, what was farming like in the 1930s/40s and then after the 1970s into this 21st century?

Enjoy the legacy story of third generation farmer, Fred Knop who had farmed near Atlantic, IA, for over 50 years--some of which were alongside his graddad and dad.

With a copy of a Sept. 1957 Wallace's Farmer at our side, we learn from those printed ads and stories in that hallowed agriculture magazine. Would those same ads and stories be pertinent for today's agriculturists?
