You're right. Great film. Great acting. Very believable performances by everyone in this movie. This movie made Jessica Lange and Wilford Brimley two of my favorite actors. Very underrated film.

pretty good turn by the bank loan officer who quits, too...

I think that's Matt Clark playing the loan officer. Brilliant portrayals by all, both the leads and the supporting players. Always great to see Wilford Brimley before he started hawking diabetes testing supplies.

I agree. It is an underrated film. I say that even though I found it a depressing film. I grew up on a small farm. I saw this movie shortly after it was released. I walked away from the theater thinking "Are things just going to keep getting worse for farmers?"

I got away from that life in my early twenties for the security of a dependable paycheck but I'm one of those people who will always have it in their blood.
