The farm dream didn't die. It was doing just fine. My father and his brother just didn't want to farm. Rather, my father wanted to climb the school ladder and become a school superintendent.

And now they've gone off and sold the farm as of 2010.

So, after who knows how many generations, my family is now farmless.

Completely farmless.

That's right.

No soybeans. No corn. no cows.
