DAVID VETTER (former farmer at Dayton's Carriage Hill) has a story about love, hope and place; an inspiring example of perseverance and doing what you know is right–against all odds.
Bonnie Hawthorne’s don't-miss documentary, Dreaming of a Vetter World which features one visionary Nebraska farm family who understood that modern agriculture was failing, and found a cure.
DAVID VETTER will be at this special showing to discuss sustainability, organic farming, soil science and how to jump off conventional agriculture’s pesticide treadmill.
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 spraying on his crops. Disappointed with the results, he'd also noticed these chemicals stripped the goodness from the soil and killed wildlife. And what were they doing to the food itself? He decided right then and there that he wasn't going spray anymore.
Donald Vetter–and his son, David–then went on to become organic farming pioneers.
Dreaming of a Vetter World comes at a time when interest in farming organically and regenerating soil has exploded worldwide. Others are realizing what the Vetters have known for decades: eating food grown with pesticides is bad for us; and soil is key to our very survival. That's why, on the Vetter farm, their most important "crop" is the soil.
