Watch as local farmers put processing pumpkins in a row then pick them up with a machine in rural Arthur Illinois. I have lots of ERTL toys for sale on Ebay. http://stores.ebay.com/Illinois-Country-Treasures?_rdc=1 Check out my blog at http://bluegrassgreenandamish.blogspot.com/ Join me on Google+ https://plus.google.com/+ErnestBontrager/posts For more videos please subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6StFmjPYrCXo5Xg_TFVvhA?view_as=public

I'm surprised that all of the pumpkins don't get smashed. Very interesting, thanks!

You make great videos on different way of farming, I will never understand why they take orders from the church on
how to farm., but it is different. They should do organic farming people want organic farming and their old fashoned
ways maybe the best for organic farming esp not growing the poison the factory farms do. These 18 century life
style church goers Armish should do organic farming. -
Again thanks for sharing this. Ernie maybe you should contact RFDTV to show this video on an interesting part of agriculture in IL. I do not know if Morton still holds an annual Pumpkin Festival or not. I know it did for several years back when I lived in Illinois.

I really enjoyed watching your movie with all that information.
Could you please tell me where the tools (pumpkin swather, pumkin loader) are sourced from?
