A general interest film showing various types of mechanical farming equipment being demonstrated in action on a Victorian farm; machinery for mixed light farming predominates. The latter part of this film was made at a demonstration in Gunnedah, NSW, for Federal Ministers of Parliament and Government officials to show that British tractors have ample power to handle the implements used by the average Australian wheat farmer.
