Comment: And another IPTV/PBS post. First, I found some segments on YouTube titled "Rural Midwest Farm Life During the Great Depression", a collection of 11 short clips and so wasn't sure about the title. Later I found the complete movie. Mainly showing b&w photos. Not sure if some or all are from FSA/OWI (loc.goc). Boys and also girls in bibs.

Pic 1 from "Farm Life in the Early 20th Century: Avoiding Waste". Nice teen boy on the right. At 21 minutes in the movie. Pic 2 is from the complete movie. Pic 3 is from "Threshing Machine: Farmers Working Together. Pic 4 is from "Taking Care of Farm and Family During the Great Depression.

I only have checked the movie briefly and might have missed some scenes. Half of the movie showing later interviews in color.

Rating ~6-7 for now. Nice pics but few in color and few moving scenes. Most or all bibs are faded and/or ripped. No entry on IMDb.
