Ya think farmers are whiners ,? You should talk to the plumbers. They cry every time a stud is in the way, everything is wrong , and they tell us how hard their life is while they are making $100 per hour.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23

Wasn't there a guy on here who claimed to have grape ranch? Hardest part is roping them for the branding....

I'd think grape ranching would be a vine way to make a living.

Ok, enough is enough. I've had it with the whiny farmers on this forum. Here is the straw that broke this camel's back; ...and give an explanation in language an old hick farmer can understand?? I have heard the same scatological extrusions from gunner500 and a couple other farmers here. Let's cut the bovine excrement and put an end to this farce. If you're a farmer you're a veterinarian, a medic, a firefighter, an accountant, a salesman, a mechanic, a geologist, a pesticide expert, a heavy equipment operator, a weather forecaster, an animal behavior expert, a chemist, a metallurgist, a welder, plumber, electrician, lumberjack, carpenter, and an agronomist. You can use hand tools and power tools, you can estimate weights and measures by eyeballing things, you know where to find the best prices for both buying and selling. You know who to call when you run into something you are not equipped to handle, you are an expert in physics and geometry when trying to get a tractor unstuck or drop a tree without taking out a fence or power-line. You can remain calm around spooked livestock, you can solve problems with the tools and parts you have around and not buy everything new, you know every inch of your place and what is where, and you can spot a sick critter or diseased plants from the seat of your truck at 45mph while talking on the phone and drinking coffee without wearing it. You use GPS, cellphones, computers, and can keep up with maintenance schedules for every piece of equipment you use. You know the value of life and the finality of death. You celebrate new life, be it sprouting plants or a newborn critter, and you share the fruits of your labors generously. So, cut out the whining about "just being a simple farmer'! Rant off. Ed LOL, i resemble a lot of that.

At what point, is it whining, about whining about, yes, you guessed it, whining? Something like that at least. I'm only on my second cup of coffee and that post made my head hurt. Is that whining? Ed

Farmers are a smart lot, They say their dumb 'cause if'n folks actually knew they was smart and what they could do they'd always be at the neighbors house fix'n and doin' instead of farmin'.
They ain't foolin' me, my Grandpa was a farmer so's I know.

I will whine a bit.....
I clicked on here with my shoulders back and my hair up.....only to leave very confused. That's the whole purpose, Jim.  I figured I might get a rise outta you, Gunner, Wabigoon, SamO, and a few other farmers, and maybe ranchers. Steelhead's post about dairy farmers is spot on, they have the best of both worlds. It was just my way of acknowledging the skills, talents, knowledge, abilities, and strengths of farmers. No job, that I'm aware of, it as complex and demanding as farming/ ranching, and then, after all your efforts, you're still at the mercy of Nature. My hat's off to you folks. Now, quit yer whinin' and bitchin' about being "just a farmer/rancher". Ed

This city slicker traveling salesman was driving his model A Ford down a dirt road, lost. he sees a hillbilly farmer plowing with a mule. The salesman stops the farmer, and asks directions to several towns. The farmer keeps telling the salesman he don't know . Angry, and exasperated, the salesman says, "You don't know much, do you"? Farmer, "I know one thing". salesman, "What's that"? "I ain't lost"

Thinking about it some, I guess the only animal that comes to mind when I think of a "ranch" is cattle.
Try saying "goat rancher"..........See? Doesn't work. Neither does "pig rancher".
Horse rancher? Nyet. Sheep rancher maybe.........ranchers get lonely too.
Buffalo rancher? NFG! Bunny Ranch? Live 7 Miles from said ranch. Stop by and say hi!
