It's a movie about how the pioneers crossed the plains to California so they could raise vegetables, although we get to look at a carrot farm in Texas.
It's another of the dull educational films produced under the aegis of the Encyclopedia Britainnica, with pictures arranged in neatly chosen order, and a dull, droning narrator reciting banal facts.
I don't imagine the subject could be made much more interesting -- the comments of the Mystery Science 3000 crew didn't help -- but there you have it. What is mildly surprising is the original concept: that people need to be told that carrots come from farms, and farmers work hard. Children may be ignorant, but educators are dmb.
