Like many farms, it thrived for decades and expanded in the 1960s to survive. As John Peterson approached his college years, his father unexpectedly died, leaving him in charge. Thus, John became a farmer, albeit a strange farmer, with one foot in the counterculture and the other in rich organic soil. The film, combining his mother Anna's home movies and footage by his close friend Taggart Siegel, explores the Rockwellian experience of growing up on a Midwestern farm, the calamitous failure of family farms in the age of corporate farming, and the rise of organic gardening and Community Supported Agriculture. 505 0 $a Family farm -- Influence -- Debt -- Never farm again -- Deep in crisis -- Distrust & suspicion -- Haunted by memories -- Way of life -- Shareholders -- Something worthwhile -- Learning -- Clear my name. 500 $a Special features: "Bitter Harvest" [black and white documentary featurette] (1983) (8 min.); "The Bug Song" [music video] (2 min.); "The Farmer John Song" [music video] (3 min.); Deleted scenes (6 min.); Photo gallery [slide show] (6 min.); Downloadable materials [requires a DVD-ROM drive]. 600 10 $a Peterson, John, $d 1949- 650 0 $a Farmers $z Illinois. 650 0 $a Community-supported agriculture $z Illinois. 650 0 $a Organic farming $z Illinois. 650 0 $a Counterculture $z Illinois. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $z Illinois. 655 0 $a Biographical films. 655 0 $a Documentary films. 655 0 $a Nonfiction films. 655 0 $a Feature films. 655 0 $a Video recordings for the hearing impaired. 700 1 $a Siegel, Taggart. 700 1 $a Lang, Teri. 700 1 $a Peterson, John, $d 1949- 710 2 $a Independent Television Service. 710 2 $a Collective Eye (Organization) 710 2 $a Gaiam Media. 941 $a 3 945 $a dvv 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190202015308.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917011909.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20111229011023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BD2BAE920F4011DF93771FC5C41A358D 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
