The Farmer's Tools

Year Published: 1959

Creator: KQED San Francisco Bash Kennett Kathleen K. Rawlings Richard Moore Harry Monahan

Format: 16mm

Description: Bash Kennett takes a trip to show the crude wooden tools used by the pioneer and tells the story of tools from the plow, combine and steam tractor to modern farm equipment. The use of primitive farm tools illustrates a way of life; with each improvement in tools came a change in the way of life of the settler and thus history is reflected in the tools farmers use. Songs include “Old Joe Clarke” and “I Know My Love.”
