Marshal Dan Troop 70448 935 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Farming is in our family blood. Here's my Grandparents, and dads sister from 1935 farming their land.

I've never understood that attitude. OK, so they have to drive slow for a minute or two, not like it really costs them anything. And not like you really have any choice, you gotta move that stuff so you can get the work done. Farmers don't work, we don't eat. Link to post Share on other sites

Paladin Gun For Hire 33 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 My mom grew up on a farm and it is still in the family. I remember working there in the summer, having Thanksgiving and Christmas there. Memories that will be with me forever. God bless all the farmers. Where would we be without them?
