Bill Basquin has a stunning trilogy of experimental docs shot on super8, meditations of sorts on masculinity and the agrarian world. Notably Martin, which focuses on a New Zealand sheepherder.

Seen in 1971? at the old Mercer St. Kitchen. Noren’s footage of Panda bears in heat in the same show, though I guess that’s not agriculture.

A few examples might be Marjorie Keller's Answering Furrow or Lucien Castaing-Taylor's Sweetgrass.
