On Sept. 26, 2023, in Sedalia, Missouri, Joe Carr, 32, sweeps the dried hay for feeding his four rescue horses. This smaller barn is home to four rescue horses. Joe Carr, now 32, has worked and lived on his grandfather’s farm since he was 15. He dreams of being a full-time farmer, but it is nearly impossible financially. Between the early morning and evening hours, he works in his automotive mechanic shop in the town center to fund his lifelong dream of farming. His close relationship with his deceased grandfather and the love of the family farm is the heartbeat that keeps him working every moment of his waking hours. He spends his days grappling inside diesel engines, wiping sweat from his brows with greased hands. Everyone in this town knows Joe, the mechanic, as he’s been working on other people’s vehicles since he was 16. But the solitary man who returns to the farm is hidden from the public eye. As the sun sets along the Missouri skyline, he feeds his four rescue horses and pets his fourteen-year-old “ditch dog,” Clyde. Joe is a gentle, loving, and insightful man fueled by love to preserve a way of life and culture for generations while feeding America.
