1950s Agriculture and Beyond

Through multi-media presentations, the exhibit explores the technological and scientific revolution and its impact on agriculture and the family farm. New tillage methods, new machinery, agricultural chemicals, exotic livestock, changes in grain transportation systems and marketing, agri-business, research and development, larger farms, declining rural population, agricultural biotechnology and subsidies for farms in times of crisis are some of the themes developed.

Plus, hop into a modern day combine cab to get a farmer’s view of the field and play “Guess the Crop.”

Then, look back at the Worthy family journey with Mrs. Worthy and hear what she thinks the future of the family farm will hold.
