5.0 out of 5 stars Family Farms - a way of life, maybe Gone with the Wind
The Obery Farms DVD is a reminder of what family values are all about. With the history of the Obery farm founder in the 19th century, to the present day, this is a love story that an Illinois family has with the land, their neighbors, and each other. There are lots of good old-fashioned values that seep thru in every frame. It is interesting to see how farming is...

1.0 out of 5 stars As exciting as watching corn grow
The header pretty much explains it all. If you don't want to take the time to travel to a small town cafe to listen to farmers tell stories about how "it used to be," watch this movie. Unless you're direct kin of the family, I can't imagine anyone else in the world being interested.

This review is from: Obery Farms: A Family's Legacy (DVD)
The Obery Farms DVD is a reminder of what family values are all about. With the history of the Obery farm founder in the 19th century, to the present day, this is a love story that an Illinois family has with the land, their neighbors, and each other. There are lots of good old-fashioned values that seep thru in every frame. It is interesting to see how farming is truly a business that depends on computer forecasting, GPS capability for planting, fertilizing, and harvesting. Everywhere one turns, there is new technology. This is not a long DVD, but the message is very clear -- farming is not for everyone, and the challenge of passing on 3000 controlled acres in a family is a real challenge, especially when death intervenes. We want this movie to end well, and we pray that the Obery family traditions will carry on well into the end of this century.
