As harvest time nears, let’s go behind the scenes for an intimate look at America’s family farms. We’ll visit farmers in California committed to regenerative agricultural practices; learn from young farmers about the challenges today’s farmers face; and meet a struggling farm family in Nebraska desperate to hold on to their farm and their marriage.

‘Farmer’s Wife’ Survives Scrutiny of Cameras

“Anyone would cringe to see three years of their life filmed,” says Juanita Buschkoetter, 31, the farmer’s wife.

But there is no upset in her voice, even as she allows that she “had no clue,” when she let the cameras in, how difficult those years would be.

She is talking by phone from her home in southern Nebraska about “The Farmer’s Wife,” a 6 1/2-hour intimate documentary portrait of the Buschkoetter (pronounced bush-cutter) family, presented by “Frontline” and Independent Television Service for PBS.

Over three nights beginning tonight, viewers will see Buschkoetter and her husband, Darrel, parents of three young daughters, undergo an almost herculean struggle to save their small grain and cattle farm of 1,100 rented acres and, with financial and emotional pressures mounting, their marriage.

Having gotten into trouble after four years of drought, they do battle with unremitting rain and an early frost, creditors, government loan officials and their families, who have differing expectations. Inevitably, they fight with each other.
