with its new part.

Don't point that at people.

It's dangerous.

Promise not to do what you did

at the auto shop again.

Yeah.

Okay.

Because I kind of really

like you.

Oh, congratulations.

You must be proud.

Thanks. What for?

Your son's a real-life hero.

"Grant Whipple to climb

tallest mountain in Americas."

Jeez.

The whole county

already knows.

Relax, Henry.

You're gonna sprain something.

Why are my own children

sabotaging me?

Does Grant not care one iota

about the 200 acres I got him?

And Dean?

Oh, he's a lost cause.

Why does he consistently

disrespect me?

Every man wants something

to call his own.

What's wrong with the farm?

That's yours.

No. It's the family's.

Same difference.

Maybe not to Dean.

Breathe out.

Dean.

Hey! Dean Whipple!

Do you mind

taking that off for a minute?

Thank you.

So my eyes have been opened.

You know what I saw

when I looked around?

Corn?

No. I saw you.

I now know that every man

wants something to call his own.

And with that in mind,

I'm gonna give you the 200 acres

we got from the Pritchards.

It'll be your own stake

in the family farm.

One of these days,

your kids'll farm that land.

Thought you got that for Grant.

Well, Grant is out getting

God knows what kind of STDs

from Argentinean girls.

You're here.

I'm not staying here, Dad.

I'm racing cars.

Racing cars is a great hobby.

You don't sponsor me.

You sponsor Arthur Link.

The Links have been buying

seeds from me for 1O years.

You can't make money racing.

You can make money.

Racing ARCA.

Nick Elliott's recruiter

is coming to my next race.

What?

Nick Elliott's coming to see you?

Yeah. Me.

When they hand out

that big check,

guess whose name

is gonna be on it. Mine.

You won't make it in the big leagues.

Just take the land. It's in your blood.

Sooner you understand, the better.

I can't hear you.

Gotta get this grain

to the elevator before they close.

Honey, I'm paying a visit

to the Decatur traitors.

Oh, Henry.

Why don't you ask Cadence

to join you?

Because she's a feral child.

She's a good kid and Dean likes her.

Besides,

she could use a father figure.

Hm.

Do your parents care that

you lounge around here all day?

Mom makes meth in Jefferson,

my dad will be out

in 10 to 20. They're busy.

Well, okay.

Do you wanna come

sell seeds with me?

Why don't you ask Dean?

I'm not asking Dean.

I'm offering you an opportunity

to do something worthwhile.

So put some clothes on, for God's

sakes, and I will see you in the car.

This business is teeming

with life lessons

for the next generation of Iowa,

Cadence.

First lesson, loyalty.

I have customers

in the seed business
