Good, if overlong salute to Ford tractors.The first 2/3 are just fine, with it's quest on making a stronger, better tractor. Good assembly line footage here, with nearly all the workers curiously dressed in lab coats. We then learn about Ford tractor plants worldwide, and then, for the final 10 minutes, we get nothing but Farmers Of Many Lands driving their tractors. Geez.
