A short conversational excerpt from a YouTube interview titled "The Life Lessons of Growing Up on a Farm." In this chunk a speaker recalls having wide freedom on the family farm (quoted: "it was 80 acres and 10 acres"), describing the farm as a playground while also emphasizing early assigned jobs and a sense of usefulness and teamwork during childhood.

It was the greatest playground you could possibly have for me, for me. But right from the beginning I had jobs to do.
