-Comment: At least one boy in (a bit baggy) bibs (pictured, either Cody Arens, Mick Hazen (or both), Bobby & Ike, both 11, but the one pictured in bibs is smaller, also cycling (but with a jacket). Also a pregnant teen girl (America Ferrera) and at least one man in bibs. Also the teen girl in an white apron.

Another suggestion from an anonymous reader. Thanks very much. This is much better than the action films. The other follows. Even farm content and cycling scenes and also a teen girl. Sorry I couldn't find any clips with her, one image is here

This is part of the "Hallmark Hall of Fame" series (like "A Painted House", see that entry. I like those films, often showing farm content, maybe I should make a list of Hallmark films. I don't know this complete film, but I kinda like it. However the boys are quite young. Also starring Zachery Ty Brian (haven't found him yet). Bestselling novel by Kent Haruf, published 1999. Young Artist Award for Cody Arens and one nomination for Mick Hazen. Some scenes I don't like. Who wants to see a pregnant girl vomitting? Have to check completely, rating 6-7 for now.
