You can take the farm boy out of the rural area and send him to the big city, but you cannot take the farm out of the boy. Edna Ferber tells here of the farm boy who grew up into a smart man who moved to the city because farm work was just ridiculously too hard. But perhaps the city life is not as great as he was led to believe; and perhaps the city job just does not answer some deep need in him to feel the soil in his fingers and to watch things grow. What will he do? He knows the pain and uncertainty and misery of farm life so is that even an option for a smart man? Listen and find out.
