Have you had any family relatives that once were farmers?

Yes, withing my Hispanic and African American cultures, both sides have had history in working in the farm fields. On my father's side in Mexico, all my Mexican relatives like uncles, aunts and grandparents, all once worked in the field because it was a requirement for them to work for survival. As for all my elders of my dad's side, my grandfather was the only one that chose to change his way of life to become something else he enjoyed. As tough it was for my Grandfather to change his route in life, it caused him with more stress on his shoulders as he experienced his upcoming family building up. He started of as a young mechanic and through the years he experienced the joy he had with children and he decided to make his own business; a candy store. So far that's where my grandpa now feels best and he says today that he's glad he started from the bottom because now he never has to suffer again there.

Not as much on my African American side that I now of but my great grandparents were corn and cherry pickers. My Mom has explained to me about how slavery had an input on my grandparents, so they had to bare with it until the civil rights movement up rose.

I guess that yes my family has had a strong connection with the topic of agriculture and either being a slave in a farm or being a ordinary farmer.
