Robert Skoglund, known as The humble farmer, recently died, and many, including humorist Tim Sample, noted the loss with tributes and recollections.
Clips of Skoglund, and other Maine entertainers, can be found in several of the NHF television collections. Here is a 1991 segment from the WCVB Chronicle collection. The interview with Skoglund is about 11:30 minutes into the broadcast.
