Hoping to force the Galacticans to lead them to Earth, the Cylons attack the agro ships, depriving the space-bound humans of their food. Troy and Dillon are then sent on a mission to establish a colony to provide them food for the Galactica. They find a farm on the edge of bankruptcy because of a man who has dammed up the creek that feeds it. The man, a rich, prejudiced, bully, sets out to stop them from making a profit. One of his men set their seed on fire And when they demand retubution, he gives it, and then offers them a ride on his bronco. They further anger him when they tame the horse, and win him and the $1000.00 prize that goes with him, and he cuts off what little water he has been allowing. Dr. Zee assures them they will have plenty of water, so long as they get everything planted by the end of that day..They enlist the help of the Galactican scouts to get the fields planted, and Dr. Zee assembles a group of agro experts who will aid in the planting and become colonists on Earth to continue taking care of the crops, while their arrival causes rain to water the crops. The bully is dealt with when he reveals what he oversaw on the night of the planting to local officials, discrediting himself to the valley residents, and losing the approval of the water “rationing” he has been carrying out, freeing the water for future use by everyone.
