This is the director’s cut version, a story about Jon Bansen, a 3rd generation Oregon dairy farmer who switched from conventional to organic dairy farming in 2000.
The Double J Jersey 450 acre farm is located about 20 miles west of Salem. Originally, this story was divided into two parts, his roots in agriculture as a 3rd generation dairy farmer (Organic Dairyman: A Family Tradition), and his life after converting to an organic practice (Organic Dairyman: The Farmer). More than just the combining of both parts into one, it also contains a new open, and the pacing throughout is more consistent with the slow pace of his natural environment.
