Subject: RE: Why do you farm?


Moreauville LA
Worked off the farm for a couple years after college. Im too practical and hard headed to work for someone else, deal with their inefficiencies, rules and so on.

Now, realizing I was likely very ADHD and the teachers didn't like me much, I failed to achieve high grades, but have done well. Therefore, what other occupation could you be:

Psycologist
Agronomist
Hydrologist
Etymologist
Physicist
Cartoghapher
Counselor
Mediator
Insurance advisor
Meteorologist
Forester
Veterinarian
Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental engineer
Pharmacist
Chiropractor
Office Manager
Conservationist
Gopher
Babysitter


And home every night


And EVERY DAY I think what it would be like to sell out, but I compare the upbringing of my kids in this vs. the non ag folks, we have a good deal going.

What other job can you get up early, kill a limit of squirrel, get on a tractor and lay off 200 ac rows, do a favor for an elderly neighbor and get paid with a dozen of yard eggs, shoot our bows before dark and sit down for supper as a family and not have to explain a damn thing to anyone.
