Windbreaks on the Prairies

1943 · 21 min Documentary

This short film serves as a cautionary tale to farmers who recklessly cut down trees on their land. When prairie farmers engaged in this practice to facilitate plowing, they discovered that the trees had served as windbreaks protecting top soil from erosion. The Dominion Department of Agriculture's experimental station at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, cultivated acres of young trees for distribution to farmers.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Windbreaks on the Prairies is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1943. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
