My childhood was spent mostly in towns and cities. I spent few summers in villages. But my real association with farming came during and after graduation.  That picture evoked few memories. 

Were you involved in agriculture as in making crop decisions,  labor problems etc.

my family had(have) farm lands like most and am second generation removed from farming so I still have some ties to agriculture, but from a distance..no practical experience as such. I enjoy visiting and spending time there immensely.
