Another one that was on the Hallmark Channel the other day.
I really like this one, though it was kind of sad when the Ingalls
lose their crop and then when Pa has to tell Jack's wife and son that Jack passed away.
Did Pa ever plant wheat again or was this the only episode?
I thought he planted corn or something else. scratchead

I think he changed to corn.Not sure if he did the other again.

I know everybody switched to corn in "Money Crop", a later season 1 episode.

The early epis of this show may have been the best "western" television ever produced IMHO. They showed the financial hardships and simple yet difficult life of the American pioneer and farmer more realistically than any other show. Think of Bonanza or Gunsmoke with their long TV runs and how trite the story lines were. LHOTP was unafraid to make their lead characters suffer.

BTW... Is this the only episode in the run of the show where we see an actual crop on the Ingalls farm? They show a lot of plowing but you really never got to see crops growing.


Old Daniel Tucker wuz a mighty man,
He washed his face in a fryin' pan;
Combed his head wid a wagon wheel
And he died wid de toofache in his heel.

I liked this episode. Good to see Don Knight who was a great Mancunian character actor.

Surely agree with you on this one......Don Knight was really good in this.....Would like to have heard one of his sermons.....he was an ordained minister!

Great episode, it just goes to show you the reality of the hardships the people back then had to endure... Things where looking great for the Ingalls, and a hail storm was all it took to put them back where they started. Whenever Charles has to travel to find work in this series, he never fails to find something dangerous. This also goes to show how much he was willing to do almost anything to earn some money for his family. I also love when the women and girls work together to harvest as much of the wheat as possible. But the best part of all was when Charles finally returns home, and Caroline and the girls all run out to welcome him back! Thumbsup

All those booms seriously kept scaring the crap out of me Yikes

But needless to say I loved this episode. It just shows how much a crop could mean back then. Today, this is me to another person.

Me: Hey, you!
Person: Me?
Me: Yes, you! C'mere.
Person: Okay, what is it?
Me: What do you think wheat crops are worth?
Person: Uh...a thousand dollars?
Me: Nah.
Person: Then what?
Me: Flour.
Person: Oh.

laugh3 yeah I'm so heartless

I like this episode. (I just re-watched it tonight.) I especially like the way it shows how people working together can overcome obstacles and make life better for all. Sad though about the Irish man dying. One thing that I wondered about....Pa mentioned something like maybe he would have to go all the way to Sleepy Eye or Mankato and he either said or I thought he implied that those places were 100 miles from Walnut Grove. But in later seasons, it seems like they are always running over to Sleepy Eye or Mankato, especially Sleepy Eye. Does anyone know how far those are from Walnut Grove in real life? I could look on a map I guess if I care enough.

I love how the women don't just leave it to the men to provide for their families but how they get together to gather the wheat.

The negative thing for me tonight about this episode - I watch from COZI-TV and they cut out the part where Jack's son has to buck up and become the man of the farm. They went from Charles giving the belongings of Jack to his wife, to Jack's son going off and saying "Why Pa?" or something and then cut away! I think they missed perhaps the most touching part of the episode by cutting away right then.
