FRONTLINE: THE FARMER'S WIFE
Over the course of three years, independent filmmaker David Sutherland
unobtrusively films Juanita and Darrel Buschkoetter as they raise
their three small girls and struggle to work their farm out of debt,
restructure finances, cope with taking off-farm jobs, and maintain
a healthy marriage. What emerges is an unforgettable look at a remarkable
woman whose vision, perseverance, faith and determination saves her
family from ruin and keep the farm alive. Updates since the premiere
of THE FARMER'S WIFE.
FOOD, FARMS AND THE FUTURE
How do we prepare for a future that is nearly 25 years away? We are
somewhat used to planning for the short time future, perhaps even
the next five years, but we often neglect the long view. This University
of Idaho production premiered in 1998.
