 OFFOFFOFF film review THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN documentary movie by Taggart Siegel with John Peterson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Farmer John Peterson is a true son of rural Illinois, the third generation to work his family's land (though the first to do so in a bright orange feather boa or a bee costume).
He has a robust farmer's physique, knows all his neighbors personally and pronounces the word "soil" more like "sow-all." Early in the film, he grabs a hunk of earth from the field, bites off a chunk of it and chews thoughtfully.
John the farmer has had a tough time of it — pretty much as tough as every other failing family farm over the last few decades.
