A three-act comedy follows a rural community as an agronomist visits to give lectures on agricultural improvements, particularly the use of a mowing machine. The play stages conversations among farmers, servants, and a lively summerhand who plays practical jokes, exposing tensions between traditional practices and modern techniques as listeners react with skepticism, pride, and curiosity. Character interactions mix polite instruction, blunt humor, and local gossip, and scenes move between a farmhouse gathering and field discussion to show how advice, misunderstandings, and small deceptions influence attitudes toward innovation and communal life.
