"Dances with Cows" Video 

The history of farming in the Amherst area was imaginatively portrayed in a video "Dances with Cows" in which retired Professor Dana Snyder played a leading role. Dana has been restoring antique farm implements such as hay rakes and bailers that were used throughout the long agricultural history of Massachusetts, in which Amherst and the University played important parts. The tape was entered in a national amateur video competition, but was rejected on the grounds it was "too professional". All who viewed it on our local access TV station, ACTV, agree that it captures the unique flavor of our town and its unique blend of inhabitants. Our local Amherst Conservation Commission, a sponsor of the video, would be willing to cooperate with any effort to publish it.  Any entrepreneurs out there?
