YOU MAY BE A FARMER

                           IF……

You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before you were allowed in the house.

You have driven off the road while examining your neighbor’s crops.

You wave at every vehicle whether you know them or not.

You have animals living in buildings more expensive than your house.

Over half of your clothing comes from feed or seed dealers.

You can eat an ear of sweet corn with no utensils in under 20 seconds. 

The meaning of true love is that she’ll ride in the tractor with you..

The only time your son gets an excused absence from school is when the cows get out.

You know cow pies aren’t made of beef.

You’ve never thrown away a five-gallon bucket.

You know those lights gliding through a field mean your neighbor is working late, and not that UFO’S have landed.

The most watched and anticipated program on TV is the Weather Report.

Vacations are taken only after a good rain, and not until.

The one thing you love most next to your wife and dog is your John Deere.

You don’t call it DIRT…..you call it soil.

Everybody in your family knows who Captain Stubby is.

The thing you have to guard most is your Anhydrous Ammonia tank.

Your favorite stop in town is the Rural King because of the free pop corn.

The prettiest site you can see are thunder clouds in the West.

You have enough ball caps to match every shirt you own, but you only wear one so you don’t get the others dirty.

You have eaten many a meal on the back of a pick-up tailgate.

About as close to you get to ‘life in the fast lane’ is when you bring ‘Johnnie’ home at night from the field.

You can remember when your grandfather worked all day to farm what you can cover in one hour today.

Your biggest social events are auctions and farm dinners at local agriculture dealers.

You’ve wondered more than once how that rain missed your property and soaked your neighbor’s fields.

You’ve made it BIG TIME when you get the name of your farm put on the side of your farm truck.

Right now you could tell the Seed Corn companies how to sell more seed corn…..fill their sacks all the way to the top!

You can remember when fertilizer was HOMEGROWN..

You know many of your farmer buddies who flunked retirement and had to keep on farming.

More than once you've came in from feeding the cattle or hogs and you're wife complained about the smell, and you replied, "Honey, it smells like Money to me.."
