The big boys they all got computers got
incorporated too
me I just know how to raise things that was all
I ever knew I'm the sixth generation
farmers in this area. My dad would be the fifth
and my children if they go into farming of course
would be the seventh. One day I'm really
certain that I'm going to stay and the next day either
after another horrible rain or the price of
wheat drops another quarter I say there's no
way I'm
going to stay and do this the rest of my life.
Bobby Williams family farms 4,000 acres of Texas.
They grow cotton, grain, wheat, but there's no
profit anymore.
We're using things that we've accumulated in
the past to keep things going.
Of course, I would hate to see my children not
be the generation
that would keep up the Williams tradition, of
course, in the farming,
but if the situation doesn't improve, it might
not be.
I'm going to deal and pray every day.
Raising money for farmers has become a popular cause,
welcomed by many, but not all.
We try to stay away from the idea that we have
a birthright or a guaranteed right to farm.
Williams considers farming an opportunity.
He doesn't believe in handouts.
If times get worse and the crops go under, this
East Texas family says they'll just do
something else.
When in the town on the 4th of July, watch them
parade past the Union Jack.
