Son:
Nowadays, it's hard, even with the size we are, you're not getting
rich.
Father:
If you don't diversify, you won't get ahead at all!
If you just stay with grain, you won't be staying on the farm
for long.
Then, with the different crops there are, you need different machines.
For corn, that's a separate machine, for sunflowers too, the same
thing, and then for corn, you need a dryer - you'd never have
heard of that ten years ago.
There's much less heavy work now, physical work, but I think we
work longer hours.
Son:
Physically, it's not so hard, but mentally it's maybe a lot tougher...
Father:
You see, with the computer, everything's in the computer. (I can
tell) what I put in this field, four, five years ago, not just
which crop, but all the pesticides and herbicides.
Son:
You have to look at it more as a business, because if you don't,
you won't last long.
