The Rhodes Family Farm is a place where generations of family members have worked together to grow crops and raise livestock. When Gramps and granddaughter Dusty discover yellowing corn plants, Rocky the dog runs to get help from Dad. As they wait, Gramps reflects on their ancestors, who first tilled the land, and the progression of farm equipment since. When Dad arrives at the corn field with Rocky, he immediately calls the plant doctor, an agronomist, who analyzes the health of the field using a drone. When the drone suddenly crashes, Rocky saves the day by sniffing out and retrieving it in the field.Once plant food is prescribed and applied, Gramps' thoughts turn to the heritage parade in town. He is sad he won't be driving his vintage Co-op tractor in the parade because it needs a new thingamajig to operate. Dusty solves the problem by creating a new thingamajig with her school's 3-D printer that fixes the tractor!Three generations of the Rhodes family ride a flatbed trailer in the parade, pulled proudly by Gramps in his Co-op tractor, showing how each generation of family farmers solve problems with new ideas and tools to sustain land and animals.
