danj-reed 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).

jeffmason131 I very much enjoyed (and learned from) viewing the documentary. It was very eye opening to see the state of our farming industry. The process of getting food from the farm to the table is not something I previously gave much thought. I'm glad I got a chance to screen this film (before its full national release). It was interesting to see the lives of the people and families (some of which have been involved in farming for generations) behind the industry.It was also refreshing to not only see a documentary done on such important subject matter, but one done at such a high-level of production quality. Highly Recommended.
