I seen this list earlier today at Modern Farmer.
Some of these reminded me of me...just a little :laughing:
"My New Year resolution is to recognize that my wife may not want to talk about vegetables all the time. The other one is not to assume a ride through the field to check on our vegetables on a day off is an adventure for her as much as it is for me
That was kind of like my first date with a new GF this summer...but I did buy her an ice cream afterwards though!
And there was this one...
"I should actually sit down for a meal at one of these restaurants I sell my vegetables to! Winter is a good time to go in. As a farmer, that's when I know I actually have time...just have to find it!"
But they probably don't have your veggies on the menu then either...right?
Then of course we all can sometimes can always stretch the season out to far...
"Every year I get quite comfortable with the mild, and mostly dry weather here at the farm through the spring, into summer and then through most of autumn. And then winter hits with its incessant rains and cold winds. The low points of the pastures fill up with water, the mud grows quickly, the cows get cranky, and the hay truck has trouble getting into the barn. Each year, I swear I will plan better during the sunny, arid weeks of the calm summer, and I never do. This coming year my resolution is to walk away from the denial and finally accept that winter will come to the farm. With luck I will remember this resolution in July."
Just the polar opposite of that was my ex FIL...It didn't matter HOW nice the weather was, he went by the calendar (and life experience) putting up all his equipment in the barn before the end of October, changing out the oil in the tractor, getting those tire chains on, and mounting the snowplow. :confused2:
