Farming Opportunity

[leechlake]

Today when I got Deb's Better Homes and Garden magazine out of the mailbox I was walking up the driveway and found my neighbor's "Successful Farming" magazine mixed into my mail.  I'm irritated I went and put it back in his mailbox for him.  My chance was right there in front of me to be tending to lambs and combining corn and beans and I blew it.

My first order of business would have been to call the elevator and get that kid Boar to get my seed delivered asap!  He's always screwing up my order but he seems like he's trying.  He spells "beans"  c-o-r-n    so the orders always end up wrong.  He's a hard worker but a bad speller they tell me.  The also tell me they hide the keys to the semi when he's around

Anyway, my dreams are dashed.  I'm not going to be a farmer at least for today.

When I was a kid in Germany we lived on a commune type of farm.  Everyone shared the meat of the animals and poultry raised there along with potatoes as I remember.  I remember being chased by geese to the outhouse near the fields.  In the fall when they dug up the potatoes the would put what remained from the harvest in big piles and burn them.  when the fire died down us kids would go to the piles and dig out burned potatoes and eat the ones that were done just right.  When they killed one of the hogs they would make some kind of fresh blood sausage and stuff it into large casings and poach them.  We would get samples right after they were cooked.  I think that was where my dad got into fishing [along with us kids].  There was a river that surrounded this small villiage/farm.  He fished all the free time he had along with  us.  We used to catch eels with our hands when the river flooded over a bit.  We used to look under logs and grab the eels in about a foot of water.  Eels were a big part of our fish diet along with zanders which is like a walleye and pike.  So I could say I was raised on a farm in a way, but only for a short period of my life.  I respect farmers a lot.  Hard work and long hours.  good luck.

I worked at a feed mill while in high school. Man throwing them 50 and 100 lb feed sacks around made me the stud I am today!!

Seeing them farmers come in and to listen to them sure made me respect there dedication and commitment to their profession.

Growing up I visited a few family friends farms and eat a lot of food that came from farms.  Does that count?
