The Call of the Land: Meet The Next Generation of Farmers | Short Film Showcase

well there’s no other real choices there
but to fix what we have kind of like you
don’t have that much control over what
you’re passionate about we’re not really
used to hard work a lot of people we
didn’t grow up on farms we didn’t grow
up with farming families so we didn’t
grow up necessarily getting up at 6:00
a.m. and working everyday even though if
we go back few generations you begin to
realize that it’s in all of us it’s in
all our roots
why did I get into it you don’t know
you’re getting into it and then suddenly
you’re into it that’s the thing I found
academia I was tired of it by the end
it’s like all this mental and I just
felt like lots of us just talking and
not doing anything so that’s what
appealed to me about farming is got
tangible result there’s this great quote
I think it’s been Bill Mollison that you
can teach philosophy while you’re
teaching farming but you can’t teach
farming while you’re teaching philosophy
well you’re farming you’re just
observing the world around you I feel
like the first thing I got to do is be
able to grow my own food and have that
basic neskowin so I felt like maybe I
could help humanity and plants and the
ecosystems by applying my biology degree
to farming after that it was pretty much
no turning back straight
chamber night
a farm is it like a breeding ground
where humans connect where you connect
with the land or you connect with
yourself an amazing place to really get
connected with that feeling it really
takes you for a ride because the farm
decides when you can take the day off
like when it’s raining or the farm
decides how quickly something’s going to
bolt or how well it’s going to Germany
like you can help play into those
factors but you have to just let it go
it doesn’t really even feel like you’re
doing the work because so many people
have done work before you or because
nature is actually just doing it and
you’re sort of lisping your hand here
and there and making it come together
sometimes you think Oh everyone’s
getting into farming was the cool thing
to do now but actually that’s not true
at all no one’s getting into farming in
the larger picture it’s minuscule like
65 is the average age of farmers in
Canada and there are not enough young
farmers to replace them how did we get
here how did we get to the one where we
were like taking corn apart into like
these little tiny pieces and then
recombining it into these other things
and making like this cracker out of it
like what like why can’t using some corn
it’s almost like not knowing the history
of your country and living there and
just accepting that things are the way
they are when having no context of the
past you know if you don’t know about
farms you don’t know the past of your
food and the whole history book of that
piece of food has been erased and then
how can we make good choices we have all
this tree erased we’re losing this whole
culture of getting up in the morning and
opening the chickens and collecting the
eggs and making an omelet for your
family and then going out in the garden
we’re into production because it’s how
we make our money but this whole life
that goes along with that production
that is dying and we’re trying to revive
it if the family farms are healthy you
can create the fabric for society to be
healthy one of the first things you can
do is get back in touch with the food
because that’s ultimately what you are
the big long-term vision is if it was an
obvious and easy career path for kid to
choose like not just you can be a
teacher or doctor a lawyer when your kid
that that was something that kids were
like yeah I want to be a farmer and I
know how to get there and we don’t want
to do it all we want people to do all
those other things that are really cool
and it’s just it has to be the thing for
you when everyone can find out what that
thing is and then just follow it really
switched on feeling of like it’s coming
through and I’m creating something
amazing
and you let go of that feeling of oh
it’s not right right now it’s just
becoming more perfect every day and you
don’t even know where that perfect is
going
