He stated that the old man is a creep. The sad thing is the son in law and the grandkids have lost the farm. You should have sympathy for a factory worker who loses his job. And you should have sympathy for a farmer that loses his farm. Farming is a much tougher business than others, there are fewer and fewer farmers every decade. This is a MAJOR PROBLEM. Maybe he could have done things different, but you shouldn"t have to be the single best in the county to survive. Back in the old days you could work hard and make a good living.
