Iowa.  In our feature story today...we visit an 85-year-old retired minister and farmer who got a chance to relive the days of his youth. Back in his youth, he saw his 85-year-old cousin pick corn with his son. Last fall, he got the chance to do it with his sons. This story is a reminder of just how labor-intensive agriculture used to be. Market to Market's david miller reports.
