Jacob Teo and Joseph Teo, identical twins but born minutes apart – Jacob on 30 June and Joseph on 1 July. Out of convenience, their birthdays were celebrated on the same day each year on 1 July… starting from when they were 11, the year they were separated into EM1 and EM2, all the way until adulthood. One child excelled in his studies, while the other struggled to keep up. Average Jacob Teo versus Public Service Commission scholar Joseph Teo. Was it favouritism or an inferiority complex that made them different? What happens when one child goes missing? The Good Farmer brings up questions that many people choose not to answer.
