As a group, we came to the conclusion that during our interview process, one person would conduct them, and the other two would work together to complete the editing and publishing part of the project. Our initiative for picking our research topic in the first place was the fact that Kaitlyns father raises his own livestock, along with a few of her fathers friends. Because of this, we knew that we would have the access to a few different interviews that we could peice together in the end. This would give our collaboritive research depth, along with varied persepectives. Because we are trying to figure out the motives for raising your own livestock, it was important to focus on more than one person, making sure that the results would not turn out to be biased.

     Although it looked like we had everything all together and planned, not everything can run smoothly. Kaitlyn informed us that those who she originally wanted to interview were not cooperating as well as planned. Her fathers friend in particular refused to be video recorded or voice recorded in fear of judgement of his "hillbilly self". She is going to try and continue to push for this interview along with one from her father, as they would play a significant role in our final research. We hope to have these completed by the end of this week so that we can peice them together for our final draft due next Thursday. It is going to be a close call, but hopefully the odds will be in our favor.
