Tractor Ted Combine Time
It's time to harvest the wheat on the farm so Farmer Tom shows Tractor Ted and Midge the dog the combine harvester that he needs for the job. It's so gigantic that Midge can't even see over the wheels.
Deep in the bosom of the native soil, among idyllic hillocks, live men and their tractors. Trahere is a short documentary on what might be the most Slovenian of all relationships: man – tractor.

Songs, fun, massive machines and real life farming - the perfect introduction to life on the farm for young children.
