Plot: Stacking stars Megan Follows as a Montana teenager struggling to keep her family's farm together. The time is the 1950s, when rural 14-year-olds were supposed to be seen and not heard. But Follows intends to be seen and heard, and in so doing finds several strong adult allies. The film has been unfavorably compared to the strikingly similar theatrical feature Desert Bloom; while it's true that this takes forever to get started, it is saved by the powerful performances of Follows, Frederic Forrest, Christine Lahti, Peter Coyote and James Gammon. Completed in 1987, Stacking (the title refers to the bundling of crops) received its widest exposure when it aired February 15, 1989, over PBS' American Playhouse. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This movie shows the remarkable beauty of the Montana Countryside especially in the Billings area with excellent background western music.Set in the early 50's,it's a drama of a young daughter's persevereance of saving the family farm.The Father(Ray Baker) is hospitalized during an accident.Angry and helpless,he drinks his problems away.His wife(Christine Lahti) is fed up with her job at the diner.She longs for a new life,especially after meeting a handsome drifting Photographer(Peter Coyote).So it's up to the 14 year old daughter Anna Mae(Megan Follows),but the odds are that she will never rebuild the stacking machine to harvest the hay and to save the farm with only Buster(Frederic Forrest),the Farm hand, to assist her with the huge and tedious task.An excellent cast that includes Peter Coyote,Megan Follows,Christine Lahti,Frederic Forrest and Ray Baker.The story is outstanding in it's field.It's a reminder of many of our struggling family farmers today and how they cope with those hardships.Good Drama!!
