Solid work on an important and complex problem - family farms

David Hovland writes: This is a solid presentation, with interviews and well-chosen images, of the problem of the decline of family farms in the United States.

The father of the family has worked on his dairy farm in upstate New York for most of his life. The problem now is that his children have gone into occupations other than farming, so there is no direct and convenient way to transfer the operation to the next generation.

The son who made the film was at a showing I attended. I signed on to receive e-mails concerning more showings, and have thus been informed of many more showings to extend the impact of the documentary. This is praiseworthy -- a new film director with a real message and commitment should be encouraged.
