Viewing Notes:

"Scenes include Sowing (seeds), horse-drawn ploughing and rolling, as well as the apple harvest. Adults and children - including a toddler - pick hops and remove them to an oast house in a horse-drawn cart. The wheat harvest follows, with horse-drawn machinery and child-managed horse-threshing."
