Karen,

the farm is primarily for crops.  My dad is retired, so he doesn't have much 
land left to work with.  My brother may still have cattle, though.  he 
raises mint, and I think wheat and hay.  They have raised Pinto Beans, sugar 
beets, and have rented out land for potatoes.  their neighbor has raised 
field corn too.  When I was a girl we had chickens, some cattle, and 
sometimes bummer lambs, which have been taken from their mothers, probably 
because they were rejected.  I like the sound of the very young lamb; It 
sounds like a human child's voice.  I also like to hear a bunch of sheep 
bahing; It's a kind of music to me.  My brother sometimes raised pigs.  We 
don't raise sugar beets anymore, and I'm not sure if my brother who lives 
close to my parents will raise Pinto Beans anymore.
