Deacon and neighbors clash over farming machinery plans
A village dispute unfolds as Deacon pressures neighbors to buy a gang plow and wheat drill. One neighbor, Bright, argues against machinery, recalling past yields and the cost gap. The Deacon insists on equipment to boost harvests, while two others plan a joint purchase to counter him and test whose method works best.
