How does Billy's father feel about the visit to the farm from the excerpt the legacy of Billy Mason?

He thinks of it as an opportunity to be with family.

Explanation:

"Billy Mason Farrell," his father had said, "I want you to listen to me. We need you to stay at Grandma M's tonight. I know how you feel about her, and I'm not saying you're wrong, but there isn't enough room for all of us here at the main farm house."

"I told you I should have stayed home!" Billy protested plaintively. "I'm missing the first game of the playoffs, and my team really needs me!"

"I understand-" began his father.

"No, you don't understand," said Billy, "because you never cared about anything like I care about baseball, not in your whole life."

"I'm not going to argue with you," said his father. "My family lives on this farm, we come out here for one week every summer, and Grandma M needs to be included in this visit. I want you to take one for the team."

From the excerpt gotten from the book "Legacy of Billy Mason" Billy's father sees his visit to the farm as an opportunity to spend ample time with family.
