How many months a year do you work?

[cuban_assassin]

Just wondering how many months a year do each of you work on your farm.
It has been said that apparently we barely work five months a year.

Thirteen months

[hobbyfrmr]

according to the stickers on the side of my new one ton diesel extended cab idling in front of the coffee shop, or curling rink, I work Four weeks in the spring , and four weeks in the fall. 4x4.

Every month. Some not as hard as others.

Hobby, lol.

I have a lot of neighbors driving those same trucks, parked at the curling rink, let me tell you.

That is, when they are home. The other 3 months they are on holidays in some warm climate.

[Klause]

I never stop

[grrrr]

I agree with crusher. Some months more than others.

So the tone on here is that it's better or more honourable to never stop working then those who spend the winters in warm climates? When you read threads on agriville the general tone is those farms that are larger, run new equip or take lots of holidays are somehow not as decent of farmers or really people. I would say many posters here are very jealous of others and need to take shots to make themselves feel better. Pathetic. Ever thought that working to live is better then living to work?

Vvalk. Have you ever heard of HUMOR? Or SARCASM?

Go get some. Don't take a good ribbing so seriously. I also have too many neighbors like that. I tell them a joke, and they look at me with a completely blank expression.

[freewheat]

Sheesh, I re-read that. Jealous? I have not got a jealous bone in my body. Why would I be jealous of someone with a 400 000 dollar contour drill, growing poorer crops than I do with a 20 000 dollar outfit? lol

[vvalk]

Free wheat. It's not really sarcasm. What I said in my response was the general tone to most threads. Your saying that everything is always a joke or sarcasm?

[freewheat]

Maybe you missed this symbol?



That denotes a wink. As in jesting. As in I am teasing.

[freewheat]

vvalk, I am a funny guy. People think I am a funny guy. So for me, yes, lots of what I say is rooted in humor.

The truth is, I have neighbors who sit at the rink a lot. That is just fine. But when they put on airs that they are busy and work hard, it is just too much, so I jest at their expense.

Yes, some of them do work hard.

I agree with you though, that working hard is not the be all.

[vvalk]

Free wheat You seam, as do many posted who post here, that these big farms that run new expensive equip and take holidays are not stupid. Some of these farms make more money In one year then you will in a lifetime. I am sick of listening to people make shots of these types of farms all the time. How many times have people taken serious ( not sarcastic) shots at SF3 because he goes to Hawaii or wherever. If that isnt pathetic or jealousy not sure what is.
