- Description
- Episode Description
- This episode, originally produced by KUON-TV, Lincoln, Nebraska, charts the demise of the small farm as an American institution pointing up the changes this has wrought in the political, social, and economic framework of the American heartland. R. Neale Copple, director of the University of Nebraska School of Journalism, takes viewers into rural Nebraska for a first-hand look at the problem at the Glenn Bramer farm. Mr. Bramer, who plans to leave the farm, sums up his feelings saying, ?I could have done anything for 20 years and would have been better off than I am today by farming.? In other interviews Mr. Copple talks to: Salem, Nebraska, banker, Harry Houston, whose town has lost half its population in the last 25 years; Lowell Welch, director of the Nebraska Vocational Technical School at Milford, where many young men from Nebraska farms and ranches are training for careers in data processing, drafting and other specified fields; A Humboldt, Nebraska family who intend to remain on their farm; and Dr. Everett Peterson, University of Nebraska agricultural economist, who comments on some of the many reasons why it is not economically feasible to operate a small farm. DEATH OF THE SMALL FARM is a 1967 presentation of National Educational Television. This episode was originally produced by NET?s Lincoln, Nebraska affiliate, KUON- TV.
