This is an emotionally charged documentary about the use and misuse of technology on the American farm. This film tells the story of two farmers, different in all details, yet united by their common goal of producing health food. Herbert smith was a hero of his age: dedicated, innovative, a champion of the new miracle sprays of the '50s. His fate is the heart of this film. Fred Kirschenmann of North Dakota (and former Leopold Project Director at ISU) proves that sustainable agriculture is a viable alternative on any sized farm and that we can bring health and beauty back to the garden.
