How it feels

This documentary shows the wheat harvest across western Canada in the 1950s. It follows the grain from the fields through combines, trucks, elevators, trains, and ships, with stops for grading and inspection. The film also covers scientific work on hardier wheat and shows bread being made in a large bakery.
