00:00We've been in drought for a very long time.
00:03All the farming had come to a halt.
00:05When the farmers couldn't grow crops, little towns suffer.
00:08Jantet, I've got an idea.
00:10We want to have a sunflower festival.
00:14We've lived here 37 years.
00:20Seemed to grow bigger than Ben Hur.
00:22We sold out in the first couple of days.
00:25There's 2,000 people on the wait list.
00:27We've got our front yard full of trespassers.
00:30Large parts of the east coast are grappling with flood emergencies.
00:34We thought we might lose the entire crop.
00:46We were growing something that was giving a lot of people hope.
00:50Walking through the sunflower fields have a positive effect on people.
00:58To us it's growing sunflowers, but to a lot of other people it's a lot more than that.
