Every year ten of the world’s largest combines follow the cereal harvest of North America. Writer and broadcaster Dylan Winter joins the team for the five-month journey from Texas over the heartland of the United States to Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. The Payne family and their crew of eighteen show what life on the road is like through their working days – co-ordinating moves from site to site, coping with machinery on a grand scale, progressing with humour and ingenuity through the unpredictable and evocative Midwestern landscape.
Dylan’s unconventional approach interprets this unique annual event as the ultimate Harvester’s road movie, making this programme extraordinarily popular.
