Description
It's harvest time on the multi-generational Rhodes Family Farm. Dusty hustles off to school aboard Gus the bus, while the rest of the family works in the field with the help of their trusty farm equipment and Rocky, the family dog. When bus driver Babs gets a call that school is closing early due to an approaching snowstorm, she picks up Dusty and her classmates and heads for their homes. But the road gets slick and Gus ends up in the ditch. Meanwhile, back at the farm, something in the air tells Rocky that Dusty and the kids need help. Big Travis arrives and pulls Gus out of the ditch, towing him to the co-op to fix his crooked wheel. At the co-op, the kids warm up and learn about family farms and cooperative businesses. When Gus is fixed, everyone heads to the Rhodes Family Farm. While parents prepare a potluck meal, Gramps and the neighbors surprise everyone by fitting Gus with new snow gear.
