I have a complete different take on this. I do crop insurance adjusting. I get on 2-3 farms a week on average. Sometimes 10 or 12. Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. We generally try to find something to "break the ice". I have been to several seminars or training meetings where it was suggested to always try to find something to compliment the farmer on. Everyone has something that they are proud of or something that they have obviously put a lot of effort into. This method has served me well for 32 years now.
Not trying to be nosy. Just show that I am interested in them. If I can see it is something the person is not interested in talking about, we move on. 99% of the time I find people love to talk about their operation, their family history, etc.
But again, I am talking farmer to farmer so to speak. Maybe that's the difference.
