My grandfather started the farm.
And we've been farming here ever since.
For the last couple of years, we haven't had the crop production that we're used to when we have adequate water.
We're struggling.
I've had to sell some property to try to keep in business.
A little bit of land that we did sell was a very emotional thing to do.
It's land that I worked with my dad and it's gone.
Growing up in Stratford was a wonderful thing as a child.
The canals were always filled with water.
We could spend the whole day at the canal, trying to catch crawdads, hunt for frogs, fishing.
