Farmland

Farmland is a fair representation of a career in farming. There is no hype and no exaggeration. There is no spin. The only way to get a better idea of what US farms are actually like is to quit your day job and become a farmer like one brave woman profiled in this documentary actually did. The scenes are beautiful and they show the diversity in agriculture. The film covers animal and plant agriculture and profiles farms in many different locations in the US. Watch the film and then contact your local university's cooperative extension service to get in touch with farmers in your area. Go visit farms where you live (City dwellers this may be a field trip, but it is one worth making if you can).
