This training film uses dramatization to educate enumerators on the correct way to fill out the agriculture census, including how to recognize all types of general and specialized farms, report crop yields and failures, and enumerate livestock according to their age at the time of the census. Some dated farming methods are captured on film, including horse-powered field equipment.
