David's Farm Blog

You maybe a farmer if….

– Your dog rides in your truck more than your wife.

– You convince your wife that an overnight, out-of-state trip for equipment parts is a vacation.

– You wear specific hats to farm sales, livestock auctions, customer appreciation suppers, and vacations.

– You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the house.

– You’ve never thrown away a 5-gallon bucket.

– You have used baling wire to attach a license plate.

– You have used a chain saw to remodel your house.

– You can remember the fertilizer rate, seed population, herbicide rate and yields on a farm you rented 10 years ago, but cannot recall your wife’s birthday.

– You have fibbed to a mechanic about how often you greased a piece of equipment.

– You have used a velvetleaf plant as toilet paper.

– You have driven off the road while examining your neighbors crops.

– You have borrowed gravel from the county road to fill potholes in your driveway.

– You have buried a dog and cried like a baby.

– You have used a tractor front-end loader as scaffolding for roof repairs.

– You’ve used the same knife to make bull calves steers, and peel apples.
