This home movie produced by Christine Hanley shows a potato harvest taking places at Layton Hall Farm near Sedgefield in County Durham. The film opens on a tractor being driven through the farmyard of Layton Hall Farm carrying a large wooden crate at is rear. It places the crate on the ground near a farm building. It then reverses and picks up two other large empty crates and takes then away. The film changes to shows the tractor using a baler attachment or similar to pick up another large crate full of potatoes and take it into a farm building. It then reverses coming out with an empty crate and placing it on the ground nearby. Another crate is taken into the barn and an empty one comes out. Two young boys walk across the farmyard which is followed by a view of a small girl playing in the doorway of the farm house. Out in a field two women work to pick potatoes placing them into sacks before transferring them into one of the wooden crates seen previously. Around the field other crates have been set up as a tractor drives up and down the field lifting the potatoes from the ground to be picked. A number of farm workers pick the harvested potatoes to fill their sacks. The film ends with a full crates being collected by tractor and taken back to the farm.
