Description: Portrays the life of a wheat farmer and his family in a typical midwestern area. Preparing the soil, and planting, winter wheat are treated in detail, along with other farm tasks—milking, cooking, and general repair work. The brother and sister attend a 4H Club meeting where reports on the progress of farm projects are given. When the wheat is ripe, father and son, assisted by a neighbor and hired man, operate a modern combine. Mother and daughter help by preparing food for the harvesting crew. The wheat is loaded into trucks from the combine and hauled to the town wheat elevator for shipment to the flour mill.
