Fascinating stuff!
Obviously a big step up from horse farming, but still a LOT of physical labor.
I particularly like the straw stack towards the end. Never seen it done like that, but pretty obvious way to shed rain when you think about it.

What we call Wheat, they seem to refer to as corn, is that an English thing?
I know stacks are about all they had back then but I doubt there was much hay in the stack. When you consider what it takes to make a large round bale, and how tightly its compressed, takes a lot of stacks to feed any appreciable amount of livestock.....I'd think. Glad I wasn't part of that effort......that's WORK!

All small grains are corns. Salt is also corn, as in corn beef/salt beef. What we call corn is actually Maze.

You would be surprised how compressed it gets. When it came to removing it for feed you could not just fork it out, you had to cut slabs with a hay knife. Been there, done that as a teenager.

That D-4 with the fuel tank on the left fender looks like the one we have. I think it was a decade newer though by the looks of the fuel gauge on the side of the engine in the one frame in the film. Both the one on the 4 bottom and the one that was pulling the 2 bottom.

Enjoyed it! I forwarded it to my sons. Maybe they can believe a few of my stories from the 50's. Thanks for posting it.
