In the early winter morning, the snow covering the fields and barnyard, a farmer is seen as he hitches two plow horses and sets off down a dirt road. Soon he is chain-sawing stumps and clearing branches and underbrush with the aid of his two sweating horses. Not far away, heavy tractors and machinery lift large trees effortlessly onto tall piles of stripped logs. Switching from one scene to the other for contrast, the simple uncomplicated methods of a bygone era are juxtaposed to the modern, more efficient mechanical methods. As inquiring birds and curious deer look on, clanking tractors and trucks intrude upon the tranquil beauty and quiet of the forest, while the farmer and plow horses working as a team seem to harmonize with the mood of nature. <9mn 12s>
