The manufacturing and selling process of locally produced corn.

A BBC East news item. The first shot shows a combine tanker at work. The scene moves to Bury St. Edmunds Town Centre and shows the exterior of the Corn Exchange. This is a good street scene with traffic. Inside the Corn Exchange, we see the crowed floor and then a close-up shot of a sale being completed. At the end is a woman, a farmers' wife, perhaps, completing a sale.
