Grass Roots: The Prairie Farm Story Documentary
This 40 mintute film addresses the serious problems facing modern agriculture and our world at large, while telling the real-life story of an alternative, sustainable agricultural experiment based on restoring native tall grass prairie on former corn and soybean land. The Prairie Farm, located in southeastern South Dakota, plans to demonstrate that smaller farms can survive by a unique mix of grass-based income streams while making improvements to the environmental and ecological health of Planet Earth.
This film tells the story of the Prairie Farm, its connections to prairie pioneers in South Dakota, the clear advantages of farming using perennial crops, and the satisfaction in knowing that agriculture can truly be sustainable by passing on healthier land to future generations.
