Richard graduated from the agriculture school at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. His daughter, Teresa, and son, Eric, also graduated from the school and are working on doctorate and master's degrees elsewhere related to agriculture. Farming has been a part of the Cerny family for generations.

The brothers' grandfather began the farm with 80 acres 78 of which Lawrence said were wooded, as opposed to 100 or more now. "So when I was a kid, I worked around a lot of stumps," Lawrence said. Their grandmother was a member of the Bosler family. She had six brothers, all of whom had farms around the Cobden area. So they grew up with farming.

"Living on the farm, having a farm background, that's what I like to do and appreciate," she said. "I eventually would like to teach at a university." She is interested in floraculture, and her master's degree involved the DNA fingerprinting of petunia species. Her brother, Eric, is more interested in vegetables; his father and uncles sell vegetables, primarily tomatoes and bell peppers, in markets in Chicago, St. Louis and Memphis. Eric graduated at the top of his class in May from SIUC and is working with a tomato breeder at North Carolina State University.

He has not decided yet whether to go back to the farm. Other Cernys in their generation have gone into other professional careers.

The Cernys began their no-till farming in the 1970s. They said the Union County Soil and Water Conservation District encourages farmers to try it.

"But they still think it's nuts in the prairie." No-till is an example of how farming changes.
