A tractor moves along a green field on a farm. Hard cut to a clip of the camera panning across several trees in the woods. Hard cut to a clip of green crops blowing in the wind. Hard cut to a close up of a rushing river. Hard cut to corn crops blowing in the wind. Hard cut to a clip of the camera panning across trees. The video fades out to the UVM green color briefly before starting the entire video over.
