Back at the end of January I was so happy to be selected to get to preview this awesome movie from award-winning director James Moll before its release. At the time it was the most recent cut from just the week before and was just about finished.
MOST AMERICANS HAVE NEVER STEPPED FOOT ON A FARM OR RANCH OR EVEN TALKED TO THE PEOPLE WHO GROW AND RAISE THE FOOD WE EAT. FARMLAND WILL TAKE AN INTIMATE LOOK AT THE LIVES OF FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN THEIR ‘20S, ALL OF WHOM ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR RUNNING THEIR FARMING BUSINESS.
THROUGH THIS FILM FROM AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR, JAMES MOLL, YOU’LL STEP INSIDE THE WORLD OF FARMING FOR A FIRST-HAND GLIMPSE INTO THE LIVES OF YOUNG FARMERS AND RANCHERS. LEARN ABOUT THEIR HIGH-RISK/HIGH REWARD JOBS AND PASSION FOR A WAY OF LIFE THAT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, YET CONTINUES TO EVOLVE.
DIRECTOR JAMES MOLL TRAVELED ACROSS THE COUNTRY MEETING YOUNG FARMERS AND RANCHERS. WATCH THE TRAILER TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF STORIES SHARED DURING HIS INTERVIEWS. THIS FILM WILL BE RELEASED IN SPRING 2014.

| A bunch of goodies- but my favorite that I use EVERY single day has got to be that large Tervis cup. And the meat thermometer! |
That’s a great idea for a film. It’s unfortunate, though, that the people who will be most likely to see it are the ones who don’t need it. But if it gives them good talking points to share when questioned about common agricultural practices, it will still be serving its cause. Do you have a link of places outside of SD that this film will be showing? If there are any showings in Texas I know some Ag teachers that may be looking for a field trip. 🙂
Thanks in advance from Texas.
Farmers are the heart and soul of our fresh foods we receive, plus they are up before the sun comes up and still at it when the sun goes down. Bringing you fresh vegetables, beef and plenty more. It is also a dangerous job at times! I respect everything they do!!
Isn’t it crazy how most Americans have never stepped foot on a farm or even talk to farmers about growing their food? It’s sad that so many people are eager to criticize farmers and farming but don’t truly know what’s going on and what all it takes to grow food for the world.
Thanks for letting us know about this movie! Hope it comes to Ohio. Love, Amanda’s Mom
I can’t wait to go and see this movie. One of the farmers featured is from the area where i grew up.
I hope to see the movie if it comes to my area! Oh, and the prize pack looks great.
I would love to see the movie. It amazes me how some people are so ignorant about their food. I even had to set my aunt straight about pork. I filled her in about my tour Moms on the Farm that I took last summer. She wants to take the tour this summer!
Such a great idea. I will share your page, you do not have to enter me in your give away. I do not live near South Dakota & I am also a CommonGround volunteer! 😉

Your blogs are awesome!!! I am marrying a dairy farmer in September, and will be a first gen wife too! I am so excited, I love reading your blogs!!
I’m not sure if the movie will make it this far South, but if it does, we want to see it. It sounds like it will have some great information, as we are always encouraging the younger generation to consider farming. We only have a small farm, but let them know that they should never limit their dreams. If they have questions about larger farms and row cropping, we have friends who are large scale farmers that love to talk about it!
