My grandparents were farmers. They were children of Dutch immigrants from Iowa who both grew up on their families' farms. They moved to Southern California in 1940 -- during the depression but before the war. They lived in a few cities, always buying homes with land enough to farm on it. Before they retired, they owned a home in the outskirts of the town I currently live in that had a large field with an orange grove. I remember that well.
My grandparents were the hardest working people I knew and they were never idle. I attribute it entirely to their childhoods working on those Iowa farms.
