If they are talking about you only means one thing.

People with Great Minds talk about ideas.
People with average minds talk about events.
People with small minds talk about other people.

To me they see someone (you) that really wants to farm and will do anything to make it happen and they are doing it for another reason so they look for anything wrong with what you're doing. In time you'll find out they really aren't your friends. You're their friend.
You don't have to tell them anything. What you're doing will make you strive harder to get where you want to go. That is a rare but valuable trait these days.

My dad was that way with me. Lots of things I did he would look for wrong in them. He inherited his dad's house and homestead with 40 acres, his two brothers also got part of the farm. Our dad never wanted to leave his home place but the last 25 years he's let it go. Now mom can't get around well at all and he wishes they had moved to assisted living years ago. But he never takes the lead or initiative to make the change. His excuse is that it cost too much. But if he sold his homestead with a few acres they would have money to live in a nice place where their meals are prepared and he would feel like he has so much to do as he tells everyone. He tells everyone every time he wakes up all he can see is work. He had the chance to sell 2.5 acres for a new road to go in and he turned down over $200,000 for those 2.5 acres hoping if he fought them he would get more. Well they told him finally they weren't going to build the road.

Those who find wrong in others are only looking at a reflection of themselves.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
