Description

We open with shots of horses and chickens in a field. A farmer drives a Fordson tractor pulling a plough. At harvest time the tractor pulls a harvester with two boys walking behind. The stacks are gathered and two women drive them away on a tractor towing a large trailer. Another horse drawn cart is visible. We then see a man digging in a sloping field (may be putting poison down for badgers). We then see the field being ploughed with a caterpillar tractor and a tractor with a disc harrow.
