Written and produced by environmental anthropologist, Brian Campbell, the feature film profiles Ozark organic farmers and activists in Newton County struggling to protect their property and the Buffalo National River from herbicide spraying by Carroll Electric Cooperative on power line right-of-ways. Jacqueline Froelich speaks with Campbell and brings us a preview.

Story Addendum: With regard to it's herbicide vegetation management program, Carroll Electric Cooperative says members have prioritized reliable service at an affordable cost.
