If you'd like to see a movie about what small farming towns like ours have been going through with the dramatic changes in farming and the economy over the last 20+ years, check out "The Final Season". It stars Sean Astin and is based on a true story about a small farming community in Iowa with a great baseball tradition who puts together one last season before being merged into a larger town nearby. This seems to happen every year in North Dakota. Once a town's school is shut down it's only a matter of time until the town itself is wiped off the map. The question is posed of whether it really is in the best interest of a town to merge. Check out the movie and let me know what you think.
