A Farm Story with Jerry Apps

Thursday, August 8, 9 p.m., WKAR | Watch and call or Give Now for special DVD offers.

Experience farm life in the 1930s and 40s through the eyes of a boy growing up in Wild Rose, Wisconsin, the archetype of rural America, guided by acclaimed author, teacher and historian Jerry Apps.

Like a family photo album, this portrait evokes memories of experiences that created the values of hard work, determination and community.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
