- Summary:
- "These small farms are a thing of the past," laments Herb Pidt, whose family homesteaded on this land in the 1920s. The Pidt family scraped a living out of these harsh, dry prairies and, though poor, always managed to put food on the table. But that era has come to an end, and, as Herb very touchingly explains, he's the last one on the farm and there's no one left to keep the home place together.
