      I hope you can arrange a journalist/longer pro/structured interview - it will be an amazing historical insight and very educational for so many new and current farmers and non farmers -
      we are all slowly getting removed from the reality of family farming and what goes into farming - let alone what your dad has put in to farming over his and his dads time.
      It will a great history for yourself and hopefully generations after you - not many can say they have their great great granddad on recording telling his and the farms story.
      Your dad is truly a huge asset to your channel - especially with subtitles - lol - truly a channel that deserves much more attention/subscribers.
