Ordered a decal for my Gator modification... it should distract from the crappy beads.

The bigger time farmer put on a breakfast with marketing swag?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It appears that way

Update. My dad reached out to the local land baron/big time farmer about leasing our land next year and the big time farmer invited my dad to a breakfast with all his workers/farm hands that they have every friday morning.

That is a farming lifestyle I am not familiar with but it sounds like a nice thing to do

Mom always fed the hired hand(s) lunch.  They had to endure talking with me while TomDad did farm biz on the phone.

yeah I think that's pretty standard. at the farm the big meal was always at noon and called "dinner" and everyone would come in from the field for it. (still do, most of the time). everyone had to be back promptly at noon so you scarf down the meal fast enough to catch Larry Steckline give the ag report on the noon news. then nap until 1. I think this has been covered.

Never heard of breakfast and that sounds very nice of that land baron to do

My mom's diner in the 80's pretty much lived off the big farmers buying their help breakfast and lunch six days a week.

Like, our employees are normally like a 40+ minute drive from each other. Maybe you guys grew up in a high concentration urban farmer environments.

I kind of knew who Garth was since he interacts with Frank on the tweeter but your comment led me to use the Google machine and find out their top cows sell for like 65k

Alright guyz, let's settle down. No need to turn the "Nebraska's Struggle For Relevance" thread into ANOTHER high farm IQ thread.

I've posted this before and maybe this is a common thing but if you buy a bull from them and it just up and dies within some timeframe they just replace your dead bull with a new one no questions asked.

Source: We've got some Gardiner Angus bulls in the steve dave heard and one irl just up and died one time and damned if another new one didn't show up.

There is a real life dead cow truck that comes around and picks up all the dead cows and does something with them. You just tell them where they are. We would sometimes have, like, some huge pile of them. Very gross.

update to this (and maybe already updated this but I just spoke to SD Dad and he mentioned the dead pile getting yuge): now we have TO PAY the dead cow truck to come get them to make them into dog food or whatever. it's a damn racket.
