Ballad of New Holland: from the film, "The Depth of Our Roots"

Abstract

Liner notes: "The Ballad of New Holland", an original score composed by Lowell Shaffer especially for the film, "The Depth of Our Roots", is sung by Donna Jean. A student and a teacher of music as well as a radio and television performer, Donna devotes most of her talents to teaching the third grade in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. -- With its roots deep in the history of agriculture, New Holland has become an important part of our modern world of agribusiness. From a small machine shop, opened back in 1895, New Holland has grown into a modern company with nine manufacturing centres around the world and dealers and distributors selling New Holland equipment to farmers in more than 70 countries. Although it's one of the world's largest farm equipment makers, New Holland continues to take a personal and individual interest in its customers. Many of the men and women of New Holland have been in farming, or grew up on farms. They've never lost their understanding of the special joys and problems of rural life. Their familiarity with the needs and desires of farm people plays an important part in the way they design and build New Holland equipment. This is part of the reason New Holland equipment is practical in design, dependable in action.
