Instead of using usr.icon_state define and use a different variable. Also you need a switch statement. Here is a little example in case I wasn't clear enough.
talk()
     set src in oview(1)
     var/choice
     choice = input("blah") in list("yes","no")
     switch(choice)
          if()

input() doesn't automatically put you into some kind of pseudo-switch() statement environment. You must use if() or switch() after the input.

Try this

mob/npc/Oldlady
icon='oldlady.dmi'
verb
Talk()
set src in oview(1)
usr<<"Pick some corn"
switch(input("DO you wish to do a quest for me?") in list ("Yes","No"))
if("Yes")
usr<<"Pick 15 pieces of corn that are clean."
if("No")
usr<<"Sorry to hear that."
