A CHILDREN'S GUIDE TO COMBINE HARVESTERS

Following on from the highly successful 'Children’s Guide to Modern Tractors', this second programme in the series looks in depth at the mighty Combine Harvester.

What goes on inside these huge machines?

It's a complete mystery to many people but in this programme we take the casing off a combine and explore how it works.

There are close up views of each part of the harvester including the modern high-tech cabs of the latest models.

You'll see the harvesting process, from the 'olden days' of sheaves and scythes right up to the state-of-the-art machinery of today, with film of a huge variety of harvesters of all ages, makes, models and colours along the way.

In addition there’s also a special feature on balers, very important members of the harvesting team on any farm and you'll be surprised at how many different types of baler there are!

It is easy to forget how much of our daily food relies on combines gathering the harvest safely in, so find out just how important these impressive machines are in our lives all year round.

With 60 minutes of exciting combine action and detailed close-up images, this colourful and educational programme will be enjoyed by all young fans of farm machinery.
