How old is that commercial?

Around 1968. When Mantle retired from baseball he and Namath founded the company. It didn't make it through the 1969 recession, and filed for bankruptcy by 1974.

Failed ideal....that as the US population grew, more farms would need to be created to feed the population

Oregon has pretty much left the agriculture industry of processing healthy fruit and veggies. I remember 70s rhetoric that all of western Oregon would be high yield vegetable agriculture to feed the world. The last major processing plant, if not the last has closed and no more veggies or fruit. Instead the fields are full of seed for your lawns and horses, filberts for you coffee drinks and blueberries for your muffins. and oil from flower seeds.

That would be nearly a decade before my parents even met.
