Tom is a farmer in the Ozarks. He does meaningful work feeding people and improving the land despite the steep challenges inherent in farming the hostile, rocky ground. Tom is an all-too-rare example of a farmer living and working on land that his family has preserved intact and undivided for four generations. I suspect that Wendell Berry would appreciate what Tom is doing here.
Our conversation spanned many hours and several miles of walking through the farm plot and the surrounding lands. Tom draws from a deep well of hard-won experience, and I was fortunate to be able to record some of that to share here. I trust that his character and love of the land will show through the video. Enjoy!
End music my me.
