Published 2024-07-12
Featured are scenes showing farmland and crop harvesting and haying, modern dairy farms, cheesemaking, poultry farms, maple sugaring with horse-drawn sleds for sap gathering, apple orchards and harvesting (including scenes of heavy pesticide spraying), and potatoes, which are harvested by a method that burns off the top of the plants before machine harvesting. Strong emphasis is placed on the science and research that goes into making agriculture so successful in Vermont, along with hard work. Also shown are brief scenes of the Vermont School of Agriculture in Randolph Center, Vermont, and the Champlain Valley Exposition, including a horse trotting race.
