Like his papa, Mateo Lopez has been a farmer all his life. Mateo personally reviews each new batch of baby chicks that comes onto the farm, performs quality control on eggs by cracking them open, and tests potential breeding sows for proper temperament by sticking his fingers in their noses. Mateo also makes sure that his parents never go to bed on time and that the house is always messy. He aspires to drive the ATV by himself and climb the ladder on the side of the barn all the way onto the roof.
