As fall draws to a close, the last harvests are do-or-die for these family businesses that have put everything on the line to stay afloat and set themselves up for the future.

The American Farm

Never Give Up

Harvest season hits high gear and judgement day arrives for some of the year's biggest gambles as bank payments loom and legacies are at stake.

Make or Break

As September arrives and fall harvest begins, two farms face life or death struggles with their livestock, while a third races to get their crop harvested and help a neighbor in trouble.

On the Brink

It's mid-summer and, with winter wheat ready to harvest, it's the year's first opportunity for a payday and a chance to break out the combines; stress is at an all-time high.

Chasing the Dream

With the crops in the ground and hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line, farmers must protect their investment and fight back when their fields are threatened by a variety of pests.

Invading Hordes

It is the last chance for family farms to put seed in the ground before the planting window closes; a farmer and his wife reconcile to finish planting, while another leaves his fields at a crucial time.

No Rest for the Weary

Family farms across the United States race to prepare their fields and plant their crops; one family operation faces the worst drought in decades, while another family gets a scare that puts their lives in perspective.

Out of Control

As spring arrives, hard-working family farms across the United States gamble everything they have on new land, equipment and livestock to stay in business and stay together.
