I was raised in the city and lived there until I was almost 40. Now I have a tractor and other related haying equipment. I get lots of grief from my city friends about being a "farmer". I know I'm not really....I'm too lazy to be a real farmer. One of my city friends sent me this. I thought some of you might enjoy it. You *May* be a Farmer if: You wear bib overalls to all social events. Your dog rides in your truck more than your wife. You convince your wife that an overnight, out-of-state trip for equipment parts is a vacation. You wear specific hats to farm sales, livestock auctions, customer appreciation suppers, and vacations. You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the house. You've never thrown away a 5-gallon bucket. You have used baling wire to attach a license plate. You have used a chain saw to remodel your house. You can remember the fertilizer rate, seed population, herbicide rate and yields on a farm you rented 10 years ago, but cannot recall your wife's birthday. You have fibbed to a mechanic about how often you greased a piece of equipment. You have used a velvetleaf plant as toilet paper. You have driven off the road while examining your neighbor's crops. You have borrowed gravel from the county road to fill potholes in your driveway. You have buried a dog and cried like a baby. You have used a tractor front-end loader as scaffolding for roof repairs. You've used the same knife to make bull calves steers and peel apples.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
