That dairy farm schit was hard work.

Pffffttt. Get real. That's a part time job.


I suppose thats why virtually all Farmers have off farm jobs.


None in my family do.

Full time and mostly 365.



Congrats.


The vast majority of farmers rely on off farm income.



Farming crops in the Louisiana sugar bowl delta is busy business with the exception of sugar cane . They get some slack time but roll 24/7 during cutting and grinding seasons,


Yeah..and they get 7 cuttings of alfalfa in Arizona.


The point..as always...remains.



Buddy of mine gets on average 7 cuts in NM. Not this year, he had enough water to irrigate twice. He usually farms all summer, buys the other locals alfalfa and hauls in the winter, among other things.
