Life On a Farm From the 1900s to 2000 by Peter Zwank
Peter Zwank writes on rural life from 1900 to 2000 for the Tricentennial capsule. He notes early farms used horses, hand labor, windmills, and no phone or electricity, then recalls autos from 1912, radios in the 1920s, tractors in the 1930s and 40s, and rural electrification by REA after 1937. He highlights shifts to power, farming machinery, and road-building progress, closing with belief in blessing and previewing Irene Zwank’s future piece.
