Show Frank Nishiguchi 11-19-84 sl:15 And that was one time that I could have honestly just sat down and cried. I was so disappointed. Because here I had never had my crops looking so pretty in my life, at that time of year, and when I got home, there was nothing. And we have things like this. We've had frost or we'd had hail and things. Dad come to me that fall And He said, Frank,are you going to still farm next year. And the thought hadn't even entered my mind, to quit. I said, well yeah. Why should I quit. Dad taught me to be a winner, never a loser. He said, well!fthat•s your attitude. Well, think you should farm then. And so we just kept going. And he was very helpful to us. In the spring, he'd come in and run one of my tractors for me and in the fall why he'd come in and help me harvest. He's very helpful to me. S Was he a farmer also. FN Well, he used to run a truck farm and he retired. He retired early. His health was not the best sohe retired early. But he would help me. S And then they had the restaurants. FN That was a relative. S The aunt. OK. Is that what farming is really all about. Is being very uncertain as to what's going to happen? FN Oh,yes, you're subject to all the elements. Plus the marketing factors and. They talk about going to Los Vegas and gambling, but that's peanuts compared to what we gamble. You know, if a guy that goes to Los Vegas, and I'm not one that does that becuase I'm too darn tight and I gamble enough onthe farm, but you know if a guy goes |
