Opening Scene

Ed: This farm has been in the family for over 100 years and we have had a good life here. Now my son wants me to stop farming and take it easy. I know he is right, but I am not ready to stop doing what I love. But, he wants me to listen to what he has to say.

John: I do want Dad to listen to what I have to say. Our son, Mark is graduating, and getting married, and he wants to come and farm full time with us. I want Dad to help me make plans that are necessary for that to happen.
