My roommates in college (from newton) said they were the 2nd richest farmers in the state of KS. How would they know that? Do farmers measure eachother out?


When someone tells you how rich they are it means they are lying and a douchebag, probably both.
Well yeah... That's why I wanted to get down to the bottom of this.

how frequently do you look back on your could have been yours cow farm life and reflect on the foolish choices you've made in your life?

steve dave is an Exxx, you are an Ixxx. very hard to be an Exxx isolated on a farm 247365
very interesting theory, I wonder if SD's pops is also an Exxx and that contributed to his preference for his kids to not farm. 

SD, how many generations have the SDs been farming?

im sure there are extroverts who are farmers. however there are no extroverts who look back on their lives wishing they were farmers instead of disneyworld mileage churning bbs'ers

Can you 'splain how to get free cash through farming again?

A) have cows and land
B) have bad weather
C) get fat stacks

that's legitimately all there is to it. if you have only medium bad weather you have to have crop insurance though. if the weather is super bad the gov. just declares it an emergency or something and makes it rain.

You forgot about the windmills and oil wells scattered all over the place.

How many relatives have lost body parts to an irrigation system?

What is the go-to "farm accident" story in your family?

one of the cowboys that worked for my dad was using the feed truck (it's like a big dump truck but it's full of cow food and it has this thing on the side that spits it out into the cows bowl) and the thing that spits it out the side was clogged up or something so he had his hands in the bicycle chain part and it started going and pulled his glove through the sprockets and ripped his fingers off. my dad later went out to the truck and had to work the chain back and forth to get the glove out and get the fingers out of the glove but they were like hamburger so they couldn't re-attach them. the guy drove to where my dad was and told him he was going to the hospital before going to the hospital because he didn't want to get in trouble or something. I was all, "wtf, why didn't you just go to the hospital!?" but he was like, "HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY I'M A TOUGH COWBOY!"

I laughed out loud and someone came to my cube. Hard to explain laughing at mutilation.

how many acres to the cow calf pair around meade?

what is the logic behind paying cowboys to do the work that you and a couple of dogs could do for free?

I'd love to see some dog drive himself to the hosptial after chopping off his paw still in his glove in a feed truck side deal. I'd really love to see that.

Did you ever learn to use a lasso?

I had a cow head that you stuck to the end of a hay bale and you could practice roping it. I did that, like, 4 times and realized how stupid roping was.

Which is better, Skoal or Copenhagen?

I think copenhagen is considered tougher but that's because it's obviously grosser

do they raise replacement heifers or buy them?

raise. even raised some bulls. I asked sddad when we were back over christmas about how he decided which ones he decided to raise for bulls. he said you could just tell by looking at them that they would be good bulls. kind of blew me off.
