What's happening to our Family Values? North Carolina Farmer Speaks Out, we're failing!

What happens here

This segment visually reinforces the speaker's message through a montage of family and community working together on the farm. Activities include: bringing a new bull to the farm in a livestock trailer, a community hog butchering event where people are processing hogs in large tubs and scraping hair off, and two individuals operating a Wood-Mizer sawmill to cut logs into lumber. These activities highlight self-sufficiency and communal effort, which are foundational to sustainable living, though direct compost application is not depicted.

Goal: Various clips of family members participating in farm activities are shown, illustrating the themes of hard work, community, and providing for oneself, indirectly connecting to sustainable living but not compost application.

Tools and materials

  • Large metal tubs
  • Tractor with Front Loader
  • Truck with Livestock Trailer
  • Wood-Mizer LT40 Portable Sawmill
