Frytown, Iowa | Let's not worry about what "style" of clothes a farmer wears but instead what our clothes portray. Whether it's a collar shirt, t shirt, or bibs the important thing is that our clothes show we care. Something that fits decent and looks like it at least started the day clean shows attention to detail and that is what the public wants to see. Attention to detail in your clothes and vehicle gives hope that you give the same attention to detail on your farm and with livestock.
I know it doesn't actually cross over but we are talking image and whether we admit it or not image works with humans. So if our shirt is ripped and bumper falling off of truck, holes in shoes and jeans (wow I've wore all that stuff as well) what else are we neglecting. But if things get addressed and we wear clothes that fit, have a little structure and arnt 15 yrs old and rags.., it can give the image that we update our farms for what's best for our livestock and crops
So whatever your wearing, wear it well to portray to the public that we are doing our best to provide the "healthy, sustainable, environmental, and animal friendly" food that has become a major fad. We are the ambassadors to the public and we "can" do that in carhartts or bibs if we wear it well.
In other words... when in the eye of the general public... don't be a slob
