Ozarks At Large

Format: 2024-12-23
New Arkansas Documentary “Natural State of America”
Written and produced by environmental anthropologist, Brian Campbell, the feature film profiles Ozark organic farmers and activists in Newton County struggling to protect their property and the Buffalo National River from herbicide spraying by Carroll Electric Cooperative on power line right-of-ways. Jacqueline Froelich speaks with Campbell and brings us a preview.

Story Addendum: With regard to it's herbicide vegetation management program, Carroll Electric Cooperative says members have prioritized reliable service at an affordable cost. As for petition validation to secure a ballot position for elections to the board, every signature is validated by match to membership records--with only one signature per membership accepted.
