I'd say to semi-limit it to home or hobby-business stuff. A guy who has a few bee hives or a few fruit trees to sell stuff at a farmers market would qualify but not a full blown business. Most of us aren't farmers. We're hobbyists.
At the same time, info about pesticides or irrigation on a large scale is also applicable to hobby farming so that needs to be considered. Really? Then I would certainly not contribute, with that sort of regulation on a forum. By the same line of thinking, we should also prohibit someone that makes their living in the firearms industry from posting in the shooting forums. Here's a clue for you... People that want advice on how certain things work, and why they work that way, are not going to seek that advice from other beginners. The input of people that actually know the mechanics of a specialized subject are the most valuable part of the discussions. I was thinking of a similar reply as you posted this one. Who better to appreciate free advice from but someone who has toiled and suffered with hard work and mistakes yet became successful in building a Full Blown Operation? These are the guys you WANT to share advice and experience because apparently they know their stuff and have already proven it! The broader the input base the more info shared. Coleman Country would work. This has the potential to be great. mike r

Cant anyone read a 2d paragraph? I read the entire post before I posted mine. It still reads like you don't want much input from those that do it for a living. Your first sentence states that clearly. Rick is asking for opinions. If you don't like mine, you might change my mind if you say "I disagree because..." and state your reason politely. Getting mad and insulting won't change anyone's mind, mine included. I'm not a bit adversed to changing my mind if I see good reasons to do so. I do it all the time. Getting mad like you do won't do it, though.

As far as what makes me mad, or doesn't make me mad... well, you can't regulate and control that either.

What you said was that if you don't get your way, you'll take your ball and go home.

Climb down off your high horse cowboy.....what RB actually said was that if agricultural professionals weren't allowed he wouldn't participate......I'll bet there's plenty of forums on this site you don't participate in..........Hypocrisy???????

Not to interrupt a great argument here but going back to the Title of the thread...I take it "Coleman" was a past member here who you all lost? If this is what I am understanding with this, a thread Title in his dedication would indeed be a very appropriate Gesture of respect.

Mickey Coleman was indeed a very well respected guy here that had been a member since the early days. He died unexpectedly last year. Go back and read some of his posts. He was a great guy, and we all lost a lot with his passing.

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the response here.
Ok, let's talk about the name and topic breadth.
"Rural Living"
"Farms, Food Plots, Gardens, and Tractors"
????
My vote is for "Rural Living" New members would be drawn to that title I believe.

Oh, look. They're already bickering.  Farm and Garden should cover it all. Dedicated to Coleman is good. If someone doesn't want to read about restoring a 318 JD mower/tiller, don't click it. Now, back to the bickering.... But first. This needs it's own forum too. How about "Get a Room!" with a motel sign flashing above it?

Gardeners/farmers: last week I asked Rick Bin about a separate Garden/Farm forum, bump this thread and send him a message if you want to see it happen: "Float the idea and see what reaction you get. I don't want dead forums, but if it looks like it will get some traction, then why not.
Trial balloon time, I'd say."Look how many reloading forums there are (five!!)...... self-sufficiency, to any degree, is an equally worthy goal. It's hard to keep warm and shoot straight if your stomach is empty and your pantry is so bare that the mice pack up and leave. I'd like to see more than an occasional garden thread, there's a lot of information that can be shared, same as all of the experience with various firearms/cartridges/hunting techniques that's available here. ![[Linked Image]](http://vector-magz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/boy-scout-fleur-de-lis-clip-art2-222x300.gif) So, I don't know a thing about gardening, but I would love to learn from those who do. In other words, one more vote for a gardening forum.

You just might get someone to change their mind.

You just might get someone to change their mind. What specifically do you feel insulted about? If that was what I inferred, then I do apologize. When I see recommendations as to who can post within a forum, I see that as very restrictive and regulatory. I get enough restrictions and regulations with our government. Doesn't everyone? It's kinda hard to take your ball and go home when the game hasn't yet started. Don't you agree? Or would anyone that chose not to post in a particular forum be taking their ball and going home? If that's the criteria, then I took my ball and went home from most of the forums here but a couple in the past 24 hours.

I tend to read more than post here, but I do like the idea behind the overall theme of the forum proposal. What ever you decide to call it (if), the sub forum name should attempt to reflect the types of topics that most any newcomers might expect to find behind the title imo. Maybe something like "Aspiring to and sharing country/rural Living" or something similar... just a thought, Good luck with it...
