That's a damn good question.....he wasn't and isn't a farmer. The land was sold and he has the acreage now. I'm pretty sure he'd been "doing something for cash" along and bought it on a contract is my guess.
This thread is making me angry and I probably shouldn't be, or I might find myself throwing a paper airplane tomahawk at the fat hobo chic who is about due to walk by the office with her backpack and pull behind luggage.
I do have genuine empathy for people who have no options....who are destitute and they exist. I donate plenty of time, effort and funding on their behalf, because I know what it's like to have a duct taped shoe as a kid. I'm just lucky my folks worked their asses off and taught us pride and hard work instead of the easy road.
But the "I can't afford to mow our yard, could you do it as a gift" card, when you're sitting in your 65degree house watching a 60" flatscreen..............F that.
