Georgia Market Bulletin
Publisher: PRX
Author: Helen Borten
Audio lenght: 29 min.
Danny Ledford tends his peacocks after a full day as a cabinet maker. Larry Glover raises cattle and is an engineer for Lockheed. Teacher Sherry Haney and her husband, a diesel mechanic, aren't finished with work until they clear the kudzu and feed the hogs. On 4 acres or 400, young people in Georgia are finding ways to keep the family farm alive. The classified ads of an 85-year-old farmers'newspaper take us back in time, to the reminscences of Buford Carey, a sharecropper who remembers cutting wheat by hand, and forward into the hearts and minds of people with a passion for the land. Fainting goats. Booming ostriches. Scuppernongs and muscadines, widow's tears and angel's trumpet--for this producer, it was a kind of mysterious poetry, for some 270,000 subscribers, the Georgia Market Bulletin is a lifeline to a vanishing institution.
