Combines And
Things On The Grow
LOIS SZYMANSKI
Maryland Correspondent
There’s a new video out for
kids that is going to turn some
heads. The video, “Tractors, Com
bines and Things On The Grow”
was produced by Cockeysville
resident Patti Schindler. The first
video in a series she plans to pro
duce with her new company, “Just
Our Size Videos”, Mrs.
Schindler’s video shows how
farms work, from seed to feed.
“Tractors, Combines and
Things On The Grow” takes the
viewer on an amazing journey,
from the grocery store, into the
field, to show just how our food is
grown and produced. Kids will be
amazed by the fast-growing com
scene that was provided by Media
Resources Center at lowa State
University. Shot with time lapse
photography, it shows how corn
evolves over the course of its
growing season. Large portions
were filmed on a Lippy Brothers
Farm, showing how a combine
works, with views from the field,
inside the cab of the combine and
with incredible footage of the
inside workings of a combine
showing the machine stripping
com from the cob. The video tape
also shows kids how soy beans
and green beans are picked and
shipped. Crop transportation footage
was provided by Archer-Daniels-
Midland with shots of trucks
dumping their wares at feed mills,
grain elevators, trains and the
ships that carry farm produced
foods to other parts of the world.
One scoop dumping grain into a
ship is as big as a small house!
From the farm, to the factory,
this video also makes a stop at a
large factory bakery where close
up shots show how wheat is
ground into flour, then made into
large rolls of dough, then into
loaves of bread. The journey,
which follows a farmer’s produce
through to the end product, is not
just fascinating to kids. Patti
Schindler says “A lot of adults
who watch the film say, T didn’t
know that!’ about parts of it!”
Mrs. Schindler lives on eight
acres just outside of Baltimore.
She says they own a few horses
and lease a pony for her four-year
old son, Blake.
“Blake was the inspiration for
the video,” says this stay-at-home
mom. “Having a child at home, I
see how often kids sit down to
watch a video. Blake loves tractors
and big equipment,” she says,
“and there was just nothing out
there. As farm areas are getting
smaller over the years I feel it is
important to show children where
food really comes from,” she adds.
“But, the tractors and large equip
ment make the subject more inter
esting for kids!”
With support from her accoun
tant husband, Bruce, Mrs.
Schindler began making contacts.
She found child narrators, Adam
and Rachel Sincell through a con
sultant, Glenn Tolbert. She found
cooperation from John Deere
(who helped her with the technical
terms and supplied footage), Giant
Foods Bakery (where footage was
shot) and especially Donald Lippy
and his family on the Lippy Broth
ers Farms in Carroll and Baltimore
counties, Maryland, where the
farm scenes were recorded. Mrs.
Schindler hired free-lance photog
raphers and the filming began in
early April 1994.
By November of 1994 the film
ing was complete. Mrs-. Schindler
says she worked under the super
vision of The American Farm
Bureau and The National Corn
Growers Association. She consult
ed with Farm Safety 4 Just Kids
throughout the filming to make
sure the tape conformed to safety
standards.
“I think we made all the right
contacts,” said Mrs. Schindler
who says she did not allow chil
dren Ur be filmed on farm equip
ment or to do anything that might
be construed as dangerous. “I
wanted it to be done very profes
sionally.” When Maryland Ag in
the Classrooms viewed the tape
they promptly ordered 100 copies
for use in the classrooms.
A Vermont fulfillment compa
ny is handling wholesale, retail,
and packaging and is distributing
her video with the help of a 1-800
number.
Mrs. Schindler says they have
already sold “hundreds” of copies
of the video and she is pleased
with how it is doing. “When I
looked at a statement from Ver
mont with the recent sales figures,
I was surprised,” she says. “My
whole goal was to educate city
kids about farming,” she says,
“But more orders are from rural
areas than metropolitan areas!”
“Our video is done entirely
from a child’s point of view,” Mrs.
Schindler says. But it is obvious to
the viewer that the film, ‘Tractors,
Combines and Things On The
Grow” is not just for kids! To
order the video, which is approxi
mately 30 minutes in length, and
retails at $19.95, interested per
sons or businesses may call 1 -800-
