Oh, don't get me wrong. I love farming.
I grew up living on the family farm. I still like to get on a tractor and spend a day pulling a disk. I often got off work at school during the fall and rode out to the place and drove a combine till it got to damp to cut. I like tinkering in the shop and watching stuff grow. I hated the crap with the USDA. And banks. And legal offices.
Dad's truck was so full of papers and mail that he hardly ever got to "farm." He wasn't really a farmer anymore, more like a businessman who had a truck instead of an office. Of course, he said he would rather do office work out of a truck than office work in an office. He was making plans for the next crop the day before he passed away.............

Only if one bites you. I haven't heard of anyone being bit by one of the banana spiders.Quote:

I drained a lot less this time and went back to work without going to the doctor.
If it had jumped toward me I would have torn up half an acre. Plus only dogs would hear me scream. Would lose all my man points in two seconds flat.Quote:
