Well... It's that time of year. Bi-annually I do change my work hat. In June, I lost my last hat under the planter when doing soybeans and I took it off and hung it over the hazard light. It bit it when the wind blew it under the planter and it got a V slice up the middle, complete with a string of soybeans.
In June of 2014, my dad and I went to Ohio and bought a brand new Demco sprayer. I wasn't in a good money spending mood. I was pretty bleak about the purchase, but Jason, from Witmer's Agco in Columbiana, Ohio was a good man. I didn't want to spend the money, but we had to. Jason saw my pitiful hat and sweetened the pot. He gave my dad and I a new hat. I was floored by this. Dealers normally don't give new hats anymore. I told him I would wear it out.
Well... I think I did. It has been 6 months and I think I went maybe 8 or 9 days without wearing it to work in the time since he gave it to me.
My dad, being semi-retired from farming(he farms, but I do everything aside from putting him behind the steering wheel anymore.) hasn't really put a lot of time on his hat. Me? I wore the danged thing out.
This is the first time ever I got to see my hat before and after.
I think I owe all the rest of my hats an apology...
Have you ever worn out a good hat in 6 months? What was your favorite work hat?
I like my hats, but I beat them to death. I wish I had some of them back. Is there a hat you want back? I have many.
