Quickly

Fred tries to charm a girl with by solving the mystery of the scarecrow ruining her family farm's business.

Thoughts, Details and Recap

The gang is driving through ambiguously located farmland with no explanation for their trip. 

This episode has fantastic visual gags like the locals glaring at them. The gang meet a farmer and his nice daughter. They immediately set up the farmer as the culprit by establishing his three word vocabulary of "Yup", "Nope" and "Meddling". Why else would "Meddling" be in his vocabulary if he wasn't meant to be a suspect. The fact that his business is being negatively effected raises some questions but still "Meddling" is an important clue. The gang offers to investigate the scarecrow monster terrorizing their farm.

Daphne spends her time trying to bond with an animal in the way Scooby and Shaggy are bonded. Scooby and Shaggy try to protect the vegetables until they're chased by the Scarecrow Monster. Fred tries to impress the daughter of the farm owner. Velma is suffering progressively worse from allergies.

Shaggy and Scooby flees the Scarecrow with a Wizard of Oz bit. It's a fantastic bit.

Fred struggles with the investigation because the clues don't add up. He figures out the answer after Daphne calls him out for trying to impress Beth with his mystery solving talent.

Both Tom and the Farmer are the scarecrows. They knew about natural gas reserves beneath their land. They resolve the conflict by agreeing to amicably to work together because they're both going to be rich. Fred ruins his shot with Beth by telling the police to arrest her father.
