@aidan,
I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression, aidan, but I didn't grow up on a farm. My father worked for large companies growing tomatoes, cukes, tobacco, and pineapples in several countries and a couple of states in the US over the years, but we (mom, sis, me) lived in town in Florida. Dad would come home a few times a year if he was out of the country.
I remember mom talking about living in a company house when they were young, but I think after we were born we moved to live in town near the farm. When my sis and I were about 12, we did live on a farm in Nevada for a year and a half. That was great.
