Still can't sit down

I only farm 14. I must be even a bigger joke than the guy who farms 16. lol

SF3 means well, I am sure. He is just used to being big, and so for him it truly is small peanuts. I will give him a break on this...

It is like when I get in line for fert or something, and the young punk asks how much I got in so far. "100 acres" I reply. "Oh we got 1400 in" He states. Then slyly continues, loudly so everyone can hear over the hum of the blender, "Only 7600 left to go now." His chest is so enlarged at this point, and his nose so high in the air, that I am surprised his last name is not Pigeon, or Eagle, or something.

He neglects to mention daddy has three hired men, two brothers, a wife who makes 80 G's a year, and 3 outfits going. HA HA. Thing is the punk looks at you as if you are his next meal, waiting to gobble up your land, cuz obviously you are a loser when you can only seed 100 acres in a half a day!!! ANd hauling fertilizer in a three ton? For shame!!!

So he goes home, and probably asks old pa about me and what they should offer me to buy little old me out. lol

Most of the above posts were in sarcasm. The
trouble is, that sarcasm is difficult to interpret in
text form. Either way, the crop will go in, and the
crop will come off, big farms and small farms. It
does make a chuckle as to what farmers think of
others and then call them neighbors.
I have a big farmer neighbor that bought out his
brother, got divorced and then changed over to
organic. We had a discussion about the
tumultuous couple of years he had experienced.
One thing he said I thought was fitting was, "what
people think of me is one of my business"
meaning that he was busy dealing with his own
life and not concerned about what everybody else
was guessing at how it turn out for him.

Lighten up you guys. Is it the wind blowing your
hair around and irritating your brain glands?

Pas problem!

Obviously tstep needs a vacation, or a hug.

Do I really have to indicate when sarcasm is on?

I don't begrudge anyone who has built operations like sask3 and his family. It takes big stones and the will to get it done (and a very supportive spouse!).

We do need a sarcasm button it seems. LOL I had a real good, and I mean real good laugh when I read tsteps post! Reminded me of grade 11 girl fights, or this...

Similar to when I said Newtie was a hottie and a
couple of people thought it was for real. That was
deliciously humorous. LOL. Pars.

Sumdumguy: Not much hair to blow around here and have to plug one ear so the wind doesn't whistle through!! Doing things in the house today that I started and didn't finish. Remember I posted earlier that I hate wind and the sound it makes, needless to say an irritating day for this guy. AND it had been a windier than usual spring here, BLAH!!!

silverback, thats the best belly laugh i had this year. sarcasm rules.

in scotland we have contract farmers who dont even own the crop they are growing. they have huge kit, overdrafts to match, and a short life expectancy in business.

880-farming is an act of insanity.
