STK-ID 2978

Shot of a sunflower plantation, of an exotic plant resembling sage brush being harvested and of synthetic rubber being made from the plant. Plant is probably Guayule. To show the uses to which this rubber is put, the camera focusses on a jeep that tops a ramp at full speed, a convoy of trucks rolling over rough gravel roads.
