A party on the Krumpos farm 1975
The Krumpos farm was a fun place to kick back on a nice summer evening with friends and family.
This looks to be about July of 1975 (corn knee high by the 4th of July). and little Donny seems to be about 8 months old or so. Whose birthday is this?
That is Deena Nelson coming on the bike in the first minute. She was always so shy of the camera. Deena was a constant visitor to the Krumpos Farm in the late 70's before she moved to Rockland Maine.
Ken Schmidt is holding the camera most of the times. When he is pictured, I bet Keith Krumpos is holding it, especially the part where the camera is framing in his wife, Betty Mae's butt. Scandalous.
Though not present, Clifford Schmidt made the Adirondack-esque chairs that the Krumpos' used for many a get-together. Also, because he is not there, it is likely this is one of the Krumpos' girls birthdays.
Helen would be born in a year. A welcome addition that will be. Little Jimmy is shown briefly.
A lethal game of Jarts is being played in the background.
A few thoughts on the background. I love how the 35mm captures the soft horizon. It is almost misty. The focus is so soft and makes it look as lush as it really was. You can almost smell the chicory and thistle. This nostalgic scene has the purples hues of cross-processed film and the extremely low ISO darkens some backlit scenes, but makes it seem so much more real than HD can. At least to this writer.
I love one of the few photos of Keith's Allis Chalmers Model WC tractor which he bought from the SpeerScheiders. There is also the milk house still attached to the barn, before it was razed. The wood stave silo must have just come down shortly before this film. Also, there is glimpses of the old 1950's Chevy truck. These sentimental objects have little documentation outside this film.

Why does the World Need New Farmers?
Please Support your local Agriculture Programs
Every 5 years the United States Department of Agriculture sends all of us farmers a survey that rivals War and Peace in length: the Agricultural Census. And every five years once all the results are tallied – the irrigated acres summed, the number of women farmers counted, the gross revenues from hog production totaled- and much, much more –without fail, an alarm bell goes off. With no offense intended to my baby boomer parents, U.S. farmers are getting old. The national average has climbed to55.3 years as of the last agricultural census in 2002(the 2007 census results have not been released yet), and the trend is ever upward.
Be that it may, the sirens are clanging not only because farmers are getting older – more than a quarter of U.S. farmers are over 65.
The simple take-home from this mess of statistics is that farmers are getting to be a rare, old breed in America, comprising a scant 1% of the U.S. population compared to 40% in 1900. In fact, the headcount has dipped so low that people who grow food for a living are now outnumbered by federal prison inmates.
How did we go from the Jeffersonian ideal of independent family farmers forming the backbone of society.
It’s the mainstream stereotype that has dogged agriculture over the past half century: that farming is a life (death) sentence to work your way out of, not into. This notion alone has been one of the most powerful constructs spurring successive generations off the farm in search of higher paid, better respected city jobs.
The result is a U.S. food system that resembles an inverted pyramid teetering precariously on its nose, a system in which just 3 million people – most of them grandparents - feed three hundred million and the world beyond. It’s also a food system in which a startling majority of people don’t have a clue about where their food comes.
This paradigm asserts we don’t need more farmers to feed a growing population; we simply need bigger tractors, bigger farms and biotechnology.
Except for one big problem: oil. America’s industrial food system relies almost entirely on oil, which it transforms into everything from carrots to Coke by way of diesel-powered tractors, natural gas-derived fertilizers, oilbased pesticides, and gas-guzzling trucks. When all is said and done, the average American “eats” 350 gallons of fossil fuel a year, and close to one fifth of all the energy used in the U.S. is burned up producing, processing and transporting food. It means that as oil supplies peter out and fuel costs keep ballooning, America runs the risk of bankrupting its own breadbasket.
Our chance of weathering this challenge better than other civilizations that have collapsed for lack of food throughout history hinges in part on cultivating a whole new generation of farmers in America. About 50 million in the next thirty years, estimates Richard Heinberg of the Post Carbon Institute, and they can’t be addicted to oil.
Pulling it off at this scale is going to take a lot of things: programs and policies that give new farmers access to affordable farmland; land use planning that prioritizes agriculture in both urban and rural settings; low-interest loans to help beginning farmers get their start; training and technical assistance to teach smart farming practices; succession planning amongst retiring farmers to help perpetuate successful farm businesses; and an American government that puts an end to subsidizing industrial agribusiness and starts investing purposefully in a crop of sustainable family farmers.
