Inspired by the book, “Harvesting the High Plains,” by Craig Miner and on the extensive correspondence between John Kriss and Ray Garvey as well as interviews with family members, former employees and contractors, former associates and farmers from the area, the film celebrates a common heritage shared with all in the “breadbasket.” Harvesting the High Plains traces the evolution of two men’s “progressive” search for agricultural answers in the face of the Dustbowl changing the once Great American Desert into the Breadbasket of the World.
