Watch Money Crop

A university-educated farmer named Joseph Coulter convinces the farmers to buy new hybrid corn. During his return trip with the crop, Coulter's horses bolt, which caused his wagon to veer down a steep hill, trapping the farmer beneath and exposing the precious seed to hungry crows. The residents of Walnut Grove fear that they may have been cheated and take their frustrations out on his wife with harsh accusations, causing her to become sick, almost losing her unborn baby. Charles is convinced something is wrong and hurries to look for him. Later, when Joseph and his family prepare to leave, he sees the men arriving with plows, apparently making up for their misjudgment.
