Easy there, partner. I come from a whole family of these “real men” and have been one myself. Coffee shops all over the country fill up with us every morning, while folks with smooth tires are on their way to a job. Or on their way home from one. Done a lot of hunting while farming, had time to do it. Holidays with the family because I could. Cut wood for the stove or caught fish when the time was right, and a lot of other benefits. Now, when there is work that has to get done, like planting, harvesting, spraying, etc., you work to get it done, long hours as necessary. Equipment breaks down, crops fail, etc. But when we lose, most times there is crop insurance, and when we win, we make a haul. It ain’t all bad. It ain’t all good, either, but farmers ain’t always broke or worn to a frazzle, we just let everyone think that. Cuts down on competition.😁
