LOWER NAZARETH TWP., OCTOBER 17, 2001 -  Willard Setzer, owner of Walnut Way Farm in Lower Nazareth Twp., laughs as he sits by one of the corn cribs at the end of a long day.  "To do this kind of work, you have to love it," Setzer says.  "It's not for the money, because farmers don't have any money.  You're born to it. It's in our blood."  Setzer owns and leases nearly 1,300 acres of farmland.  The corn and soybean harvest normally takes about two months to complete, but Setzer credits "exceptional weather" for getting this year's crop processed in five weeks.  (Betty E.
