The processes involved in producing and transporting bread grain in Canada. Various types of ploughing using animals and steam driven machinery. A reaping machine with three teams of horse-drawn reapers is shown at work, as well as two threshing machines. Men feed the sheaves into the threshers, which blow out straw once the grain has been extracted. Straw is stoked into the traction engine boiler and a man holds a sack to collect the grain. The grain is transported by freight train to Fort William, filmed from the front of the train passing through cutting, over bridge, through tunnels and past a lake. A view of Winnipeg city from above begins at the Winnipeg Saddlery Co in a 180-degree pan (possibly filmed from the City Hall), followed by a travelling shot from the river showing steamers at the dock and grain warehouses; the steamer Carleton; dock cranes and a docked steamer; the tug J.D. Morrison passes. A group of children sit in a field, eating bread.
