while I was just watching it, my wife asked "Is that Aaron Copeland? Why are you listening to Aaron Copeland music?" (Usually its 60s Gold on Sirius.)
Quite interesting video. IH must have had a hand in production. Were all the tractors M's and H's? I didn't notice any A's or B's.

It looks to be all H's & M's. From what I've gathered, the smaller letter series weren't too common in that area unless there were some truck farms or orchards. The combines are 123SP's & there looks to be a KB series truck at 5:15 in the film.

As for Aaron Copland.... it never ceases to amaze me, the amount of music knowledge there is hiding on this site.

I like those old films.

Periscope Film has a good channel on YouTube. They have tons of old short films from days past.
