    At 6:40 what the gentleman said "you have to be present onsite everyday" it the work ethic that most of us have forgotten. This is hard, backbreaking work and our generation doesn't realize that there are real people who labor daily to bring us our food, maintain our society and build the future. I enjoyed this episode and respect this great family working together. This is the family unit and unity that America and the world needs.
