it's always interesting to hear you overall types talk


:p

I’ve been to Dalhart, about the same as Liberal, or hell most of those little panhandle towns.

Mr. Laz, farmers are an amazing collection of people that can talk about absolutely nothing for hours on end.

Like King of the Hill where they stand around on the curb drinking beer and saying “Yep”.

Of course, when you spend 12-16 hours a day on a tractor with nothing but AM radio you take advantage of the opportunity to talk to another human being.

sounds like my family ... Heartland people learn to talk like that very early on.

This is me giving you the finger.

In point of fact though, I've worn precisely 0 pairs of overalls ever. My grandpa actually wore overalls because he was a farm kid during the dust bowl and they had less than no money. So when my older brother was born, my mom bought him some cutesy overalls and grandpa freaked. So no baby overalls for us and I've never work them since. They're overalls after all.

We're not just a bunch of hayseeds for the most part. Those days are over. At least in most places. I fancy myself a fairly intelligent human, but there are lots of guys in production Ag that are way smarter than I am.

I guess I'm not like that so much. If the conversation is going nowhere I need to end it or talk about something of substance. My dad though, he'll talk like nobody's business.

oh come on now ... i was just teasing.

:grouphug:

I hear you there. It bothers me that everyone seems to view farmers as brainless clod-kicking hicks. It's usually quite the opposite. I was very very close to making farming my profession back in the day. If my mother wouldn't have divorced my asshole stepfather when she did, I'd very likely be running a farm right now. People seriously underestimate the thinking, planning, and actual hard work required. You have to be quite creative, adaptive, and resourceful. There's no such thing as a lazy farmer. You don't successfully manage millions of dollars worth of moving parts in frustratingly remote locations, by being a dummy.

You have my respect, my friend.

I know you were kidding. Let me in your group hug.

father's side of the family is from Reevesville, Illinois ... probably not even on a map

mother's side is from Muskogee, oklahoma


you want to talk about small town,hayseed,country,backwater :thumb:

I've only driven through Amarillo once. Didn't even know where Dalhart or Guymon were until I watched "The Dust Bowl" on PBS. Hats off to all the Ag CPers.

You will be like your dad someday.


I have come to accept it.

lol ... i was determined to not be like my dad when i was younger.


didn't work ... almost exactly like him now LMAO


you know, it's not such a bad thing afterall.
