“Do you think there’s ever a time when things—should farmers just hang on till the bitter end, or is there a time to get out? (Lora) And do what... And do what? That’s their whole life—that’s—that’s—that is—that’s their person. (Laurie) There depends, how do you put it? If they don’t have blood in their veins, if they’ve got dirt in their veins, well they’ll hang on till the end. If they’ve, if they got a little bit of blood and some brains, well, and they see the handwriting coming on the wall, well, they’ll get out.” (Bill) —Bill and Laurie Tobald, Farmers, Glasco, KS 12/15/99
