This is the exact reason I would like to see the movie Farmland. It was on hulu for free for a while and I missed it. So far, the reviews of the documentary have been extremely negative, because they say it is about good young farmers. (I know 1 of the 6, personally, hence my eagerness to see the film.) The reviews are awful, not because the film was made poorly, but because no one in the film took a stand against GMOs or no one in the film directly mentioned global warming. I'm not joking. You can go read the reviews. They say, this is because the film was paid for by a farmers and rancher's alliance. Now, honestly, I don't know about anyone else, but the person I know who is in this film doesn't care 1 bit about what I think, or what you think, let alone what some alliance thinks or a director thinks. There is no way that they told her what to say. I believe the rest of the young farmers are the same way. It's just the sign of the times, that people actually believe a documentary is supposed to be dark and the film's financing is supposed to turn it into propaganda for a position.
I always thought the definition of a documentary was to "document" life. Is that just crazy nonsense on my part? Apparently, Michael Moore, and Morgan Spurlock changed the definition, somewhere along the lines. The Documentary King Corn, another you must see, was done at a time when corn prices were at or below $2 a bushel not even 10 years ago. (anyone else remember that fun? hahaha) It at least documented the lives of the documentary makers. Some of these self proclaimed documentaries don't really do that, much less, if anything else.
Anyhow, if anyone gets a chance, King Corn is a film I'd watch, just because. Food Inc, I want to see. Farmland, if anyone finds it online, let me know.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
