MOVIE NIGHT

Their neighbors thought they were crazy.

Their kids were teased at school.

Turns out they were onto something…

One day in 1953, Nebraska farmer Donald Vetter had an epiphany while spraying his cornfield. He’d wondered for a while about the wartime chemicals—now approved for agricultural use—he was putting on his crops. He decided right then to quit spraying and to learn to farm in harmony with nature. His farmer neighbors questioned his sanity. When his son David came back to the farm from seminary with a mission to “minister to the soil,” bets were made on how long they’d last.

Today, they’re considered regenerative organic farming pioneers.

Register now to receive a special link to watch the film starting on Friday, September 22. The link will be available for 7 days, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it at your convenience.
