The Next Generation Of American Farmers: And A Give Away!

April 25, 2014 by Morgan 10 Comments

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.

It was better than I expected. That is why I am so happy to be giving away TWO TICKETS to see this movie at a special screening in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 
 
What makes this movie so special to me you ask? Here is an excerpt straight from the film’s website:
 
 

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 โ€˜20S, ALL OF WHOM ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR RUNNING THEIR FARMING BUSINESS.

THROUGH THIS FILM FROM AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR, JAMES MOLL, YOUโ€™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.

 

 
I am very supportive of this film and I think it is a perfect date night for Thursday, May 1 in Sioux Falls, SD. If you want to read more about it check out their website for Farmland.
And if you are selected for the two tickets you will also be invited to a small get together after the film to meet one of the farmers featured in the film for a short Q & A. This is a great opportunity to get your questions about food answered!

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    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.

    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!

    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!

I met my husband for the first time face to face on the exit ramp that is now down the road from our home. I lived in South Dakota for a year before I was sure I was ready to do this whole "farm wife" thing...(read more!)
