This Generation: A Prairie Romance - Grain Marketing (Silent Film)


"This Generation: A Prairie Romance is a dramatized documentary that portrays the romance of living on a Saskatchewan farm. When a young woman is asked to get married and leave the farm, she explains to her fiancé that she could never leave the life she loves for the city. She tries to convince her fiancé that farming is an excellent occupation with a great future. This is done by taking him on a tour of the farm and explaining typical farming operations - from seeding to marketing. Her descriptions illustrate how the hard work by homesteaders during the settlement years had paid off. Watch the entire film to see if she chooses marriage over the farm. Divided into six segments, this portion illustrates how the grain is marketed overseas."
