OUR DAILY BREAD

New Zealand's wheat industry, beginning with historical re-enactment of wheat farming in pioneer days.

A woman bakes bread in a camp oven for her husband working in the wheat fields. The advent of agricultural machinery: Clydesdales, then tractors pulling ploughs, traction engine and header-harvester at work. Shows Lincoln College and the work of the Wheat Research Institute: Crossbreeding wheat, testing and sifting flour. At the flour mills, the wheat is refined. At the bakery, we see the process from flour to bread: ‘a neat tasty product of modern mechanical marvels', which is delivered to the housewife and sampled by a small boy.
