In Reply to: rain, complain posted by northvale-PA on June 30, 2012 at 03:04:55:

Years ago I told Dad (mid 80"s) I had to go get a job in town to make ends meet.Dad said it will never work to work in town and farm like I was. I had 80 sows,farrow to finish, 60 cows a few sheep and corn and beans to tend to.

I got lucky and found a job in a shop where I could come and go as I please. So spring and falls I took time off for a couple of weeks for planting and harvest. I worked my butt off for the shop when I could. Working 40 hours plus a week and getting the chores done left little time for fun things.All day Saturday and Sunday afternoons I was grinding feed and hauling manure.

I did this for 14 years till dad died in 99 suddenly and I took over his farm as well.

I quit the shopback in 99 and only farmed but told the boss if he gets in a bind to give me a call. I just worked the last 2 weeks in the weld shop for the old boss to show my graditude for him getting me thru the 80"s. I worked there 6 weeks last winter.

I guess the reason I say all of this is never complain about the rain as a farmer. With no rain you will have nothing. I learned you can"t control mother nature you just have to get the job done when she will let you.

If this drought gets worse here I may be in the weld shop full time again.

Be happy for your rain.

Gary

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
