The film's summary:
Ladies of the Land
As small family farms continue to disappear from the American landscape, a new group of farmers grows dramatically: women. The film follows new women farmers in Pennsylvania and Minnesota, exploring the the ways in which they are challenging the traditional agricultural model, the difficulties they face, and the reasons why they love the land.
