Broken Limbs

The future looks grim in "The Apple Capital of the World" in Washington state. Apple growers by the thousands are going out of business. But there's also an entirely new breed of farmer, practitioners of a sustainable agriculture. These new American farmers define a path of renewal that could hold the answer for farmers across America.
