I don't know if many of you know about the film on CSA farmer John Peterson
"The Real Dirt on Farmer John," but the next two weeks many of us are
prescreening the film. The premiere will be in MPLS on the 20th. If it is
successful it will go nation wide.

The true story of John Peterson, third generation Northern Illinois farmer.
Using 50 years of richly textured footage, filmmaker Taggart Siegel weaves
together Farmer John's haunting and humorous hero's journey of struggle,
hippie days, vicious rumors and violence, the farming crisis of the 80s,
death and resurrection. Through melding farming with free expression, Farmer
John's powerful story of transformation heralds a renewal of local
agriculture in America.
