The current owner’s son, Kennedy, has been trying to reform the way the farm is operated, but that has put him on a collision course with his father, who has in the recent past preferred his daughter Rita, Kennedy’s sister, because of her willingness to continue doing things the way her father, grandfather and the white founders always did them.
